Why the other choices are wrong
Choice A
Choice A is incorrect. The sentence specifies how many medical schools’ student policies are available online; it doesn’t emphasize the study’s methodology.

Choice C is incorrect. The sentence emphasizes the study’s results, not the study’s methodology.
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect. The sentence emphasizes the aim of the study, not the study’s methodology.
