Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Providing an extensive, detailed review of previous research relevant to your study is not a task that the introduction to a lab report should accomplish. While providing some context for the study is important, the introduction should focus on the specific hypothesis or question being addressed and the methods used to answer it. A review of previous research is more appropriate for the literature review section of the paper.
