What additional protections are provided for child wards of the state involved in research?

1. Unlimited access to research benefits

2. Research must be directly related to wards or conducted where majority of kids aren't wards

3. Guaranteed adoption post-study

4. Automatic exemption from risks

The correct answer is: Research must be directly related to wards or conducted where majority of kids aren't wards

Option D, automatic exemption from risks, is not a viable protection as it would not account for potential risks that may arise during the research.
