The correct answer is B.

While all of these statements are inappropriate to include in a business letter, only answer B contains biased langauage.

In this sentence, the writer assumes the receptionist is a "lady." It would have been better to phrase the sentence as: "I'll ask the receptionist to make an appointment." Using that type of phrasing would not indicate a bias.
