Choice A is the best answer. The seventh paragraph discusses the negative consequences of not publishing null results, emphasizing that "worse, if researchers publish significant results from similar experiments in the future, they could look stronger than they should because the earlier null studies are ignored." In other words, failing to document null results means that the results of later, related studies will not be as accurate as they appear.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the passage does not indicate that failing to document null results can cause promising areas of research to be overlooked (choice B), cause errors in data collection practices that lead to null results being overlooked (choice C), or lessen bias against null results (choice D).
