The sample for a study exhibits question wording bias. Select the statement that best describes the bias in the study.

Question wording bias happens when the way a question is written influences or confuses respondents. A vague, confusing, or leading question—or one that leaves out needed information—can affect how people answer, so choice B best describes the bias. Different wording across surveys, as in A, would be a way to compare wording effects, not the definition of the bias itself.
