Given the question of the survey: "Don’t you agree that the wrestling team doesn’t get enough coverage in the school newspaper?".

You need to remember that, by definition, Biased Questions are those questions in which:

- They are written in a form that the people do not understand or the words are confusing to them.

- They are written in a form that assumed the answer of the person surveyed.

In other words, the questions are set up in a form that conducts the person to a fixed answer, and makes the person not answer the question honestly.

In this case, you can identify that the question has the words "Don't you agree" and "doesn't get enough coverage". Therefore, you can identify that it suggests a particular answer.

Hence, the answer is: Option A.
