The following that is the most credible source from the given options is:

C. An article in a major scientific journal, written in 1968 by a team of scientists with PhDs in particle physics

A credible source is one that has a valid claim and evidence, which was written by professionals in their field and is factual.

As a result of this, the other options are not the most credible source because:

They contain opinions
Some of them are personal blogs
The article that was written by a journalist is credible, but not the most credible when compared to a scientific journal written by scientists on particle physics

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
