The survey which is least likely to be biased is the one from the youngest group of students. The third grade student's survey is least likely to be biased because younger children are less likely to lie. On the other hand the older the students the greater their awareness is for the ability to misrepresent or completely lie. So, the correct answer is RUBEN
