c. expanded
d. substantiated
e. surmised

B. Queried

Explanation:

In anthropologist field, Queried is an act of giving doubts toward the validity of a certain claim.  Keep in mind that Queried does not mean completely reject the claim. But it merely suggest that might be a good idea to gain further evidence to proof that claim.

This can be seen when they are examining whether Neanderthal is a direct ancestor to humans. They based that assumption due to our similar mitochondrial. Even though it might be possible,  we need to gained further proof to strengthen that claim. (since chimpanzees with identical mitochondrial are not closely related to us)

answer; fair labor and standard act;
