Which part of the protocols acknowledges contributors?

• A. The acknowledgments section.
• B. The introduction.
• C. The appendices.
• D. The glossary.

Answer: (A)

Acknowledging contributors happens in the section dedicated to acknowledgments. This part is specifically for thanking individuals, labs, and funding sources that helped with the protocol but aren’t listed as authors. It ensures credit is given where it’s due and shows transparency about the support behind the work. The introduction provides background and purpose, the appendices hold supplementary materials, and the glossary defines specialized terms. So the acknowledgments section is the appropriate place to acknowledge contributors.
