I feel like option D could lead to bias since the researcher is the one scoring first. It might not reflect true agreement.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the importance of independent scoring for inter-observer agreement. Maybe option A is too collaborative?

I think option B makes the most sense since both the researcher and observer can independently score without influence.
