Close call between C and D, both look good... "must and always" together seem redundant. I ll go with D.

Hi QZ,

in D we are lacking a proper verb in my opinion. "A scientific investigator always maintain a healthy level of skepticism" isn't a correct sentence. We require a help verb such as "must", which we can find in C. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
