Answer:

B. Information that is presented as scientific but has not been gathered through reliable scientific methods.

Explanation:

Pseudocience is defined as a collection of beliefs or information that claims to be scientific as it is supposedly gathered by a scientific method, but in reality, is not based on a reliable scientific method.

Although Letter A is similar, pseudoscience does not provide real "evidence," as it is based only on personal beliefs, which is also a non-reliable data. Letter C is not correct as this information is not collected through the scientific method, and Letter D is not sufficient, as pseudoscientists usually mention the fact that their beliefs or information are based on scientific facts.

As pseudoscience is falsely regarded or presented as scientific, the correct answer is Letter B.

Answer:

Information that is presented as scientific but has not been gathered through reliable scientific methods.
