Answer: (B)

Bias is a tendency to view something in a particular way. This means people often interpret, evaluate, or present information with a tilt toward one side, usually influenced by personal beliefs, experiences, or interests. It isn’t complete objectivity, which would mean viewing things fairly and without leaning. It isn’t a random opinion, since bias is a consistent inclination rather than a one-off thought. It isn’t neutral reporting, which aims to present information without taking sides. Recognizing bias helps you analyze sources more critically by spotting patterns of leaning, such as selective facts, loaded language, or missing counterarguments.
