Answer:

C. The attitudes or beliefs that prevent a writer from giving a subject objective consideration

Step-by-step explanation:

The noun "bias" refers to the attitudes, beliefs or views that show an inclination for or against one person or idea and that prevents us, and writers, from giving a subject objective consideration. Some synonyms of bias are partiality, prejudice, and preference; therefore, the opposite of bias is a statement that is objective, impartial or that can be proved to be true
