Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B. portions of the population are excluded from the consideration for the sample.

Explanation:

Bias occurs when the data from an experiment is not correctly collected. While taking a sample, if we consider to take our data from only one part of a population and not from the rest then it will be considered as biased. For example, a researcher takes blood samples from just people who are his/her neighbours and make conclusions about the blood types of the people of the whole city.
