For example, if we make a coin in a way that if we flipped that coin we always get head to make the probability to get tail 0, then the coin is a biased coin and a stud,y using that is a biased study. So in given choices,
(A) Errors in data are mistakes made in the unconscious mind. It cannot be the meaning or cause of the biased event.
(B) If participants were only given three choices then they can make different choices using those three so it is partially biased not fully biased.
(C) Not enough people were surveyed cannot be meaning or reason for biased data as the number of experimental data is mentioned in the experiment. So experiment can be done with any size of the sample depending on which the result will be different but not biased.
(D) If participants lead to respond in a specific way then it is a conscious try to control the statistical data. So it is the meaning of the biased statistical study. Hence the correct option is (D).
