Bias refers to when an individual provides his/her personal viewpoint or interpretation of a certain topic, rather than stating information in an objective manner. In this instance, the last option contains the author's personal interpretation and viewpoint of the research findings, thereby, inserting bias into it. The first and second options do not contain bias as they are objective statements that do not include an individual's personal interpretation.
