The ethics board approves a field study only if participants can withdraw and either the data are anonymized or participants consent to identification. Study S allows withdrawal and anonymizes interview transcripts, but its public image archive identifies participants who did not consent to identification.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?

  1. Anonymizing one type of study data satisfies the board's anonymity condition for every dataset in the study.
  2. Because S permits withdrawal, the board may waive both anonymity and consent to identification.
  3. Study S would necessarily be approved if every identified participant later consented to identification.
  4. Study S would become approvable merely by allowing the identified participants to withdraw after publication.
  5. Study S fails a necessary condition and therefore cannot be approved under the board's stated rule.
