C. An ecologist publishes data funded by a construction company which supports their original hypothesis that an endangered animal's territory is not endangered.

D. A zoologist publishes incomplete data on sloths which supports their original hypothesis and notes that more research is required.

The statement that illustrates bias in scientific research is an ecologist publishes data funded by a construction company that supports their original hypothesis that endangered animal's territory is not endangered (option C)

In scientific research, bias can occur when the results or processes are manipulated on purpose. This usually occurs if:

The researcher wants the hypothesis to match the results

The researcher or sponsor has an economic interest

Scientific research occurs in situation B because it is convenient for the construction company to show that endangered animal's territory is not endangered as this would allow the company to build in certain areas and therefore, they are likely to manipulate the results of this research.

According to this, option B shows scientific bias. On the other hand, other options do not show bias because in these the results do not seem to be manipulated.
