    C. Wiki sites are open to the public and articles can be edited by anyone at any time.

    Explanation:

    A simple definition of a wiki is a web page that can usually be changed by anyone who has a web browser and can access the wiki page. For this reason, wiki sites are not an appropriate search source for academic searches, because as anyone can change the content, the wiki site can present false information, and anyone can change the actual information and replace it with irrelevant information.
