Explanation / Answer

5)

Undercoverage occurs when some members of the population are inadequately represented in the sample

Response bias (also called survey bias) is the tendency of a person to answer questions on a survey untruthfully or misleadingly.

Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby ensuring that the sample obtained is not representative of the population intended to be analyzed. It is sometimes referred to as the selection effect.

non-response bias is a phenomenon in which the results of elections, studies, polls, etc. become non-representative because the participants disproportionately possess certain traits which affect the outcome.

b) Response bias is correct

as the response may be misleading because they may not remember the impression accurately
