Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The best choice is to validate the real story by going to the person who is the subject of the article. This is because the person themselves will have the most accurate information about their own story and can correct any factual errors. It is not recommended to rely solely on online sources such as Wikipedia, and publications/books may also contain errors. Visiting the person who wrote the article or publication may not be as effective as going directly to the subject, as the writer may have based their information on unreliable sources.
