Which of the following facts should make you the most worried about the reliability of the results of the test in this case?

A. The 112 students were all students in a chemical engineering course and not a random sample from the entire student body.

B. Two of the six observed counts are less than 5.

C. Not all of the cells' contributions to the chi-squared statistic are greater than 1.

D. Two of the six expected counts are less than 5.
