Answer 1

Answer:

c. A survey regarding preferences as to online news sources

Explanation:

Respondents would find it easy to say the truth here since this question is more or less irrelevant. This question does not put them on the spot like the other options such as whether they have been loyal to their partners. Participants are therefore most likely to tell the truth here as opposed to the other options.
