Answer: The correct answer is C: Bias.

Step-by-step explanation:

When listening to the speaker for the company argue the case about natural gas, always listen with bias. The company could lose millions if the deal doesn't go forward, so they are biased. They will not give whole truths about issues that the drill site may have with damaging the environment in town. Research everything yourself beforehand and ask questions that you have written down in advance.
