Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Alan had a duty to consider other relevant testimony as well. Arbitration, especially under the Federal Arbitration Act, is expected to be fair and impartial, allowing for the presentation of relevant evidence and testimony to ensure a just resolution. Refusing to hear any evidence from witnesses other than the disputing parties can undermine the fairness and comprehensiveness of the arbitration process.
