Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The ICH GCP guideline specifically uses the word 'coerce' - trial participants must never be coerced into participation. While 'bribe' and 'blackmail' are also clearly wrong, the official ICH GCP text uses 'coerce' to emphasize that participation must be completely voluntary without any undue pressure or influence.
