Answer:

A. A journalist will show both sides of the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

When someone is biased, they are unfairly prejudiced for or against someone or something. People can develop biases for or against an individual, a group, or a belief.

Journalists should aim to be unbiased. In other words, their writing should be objective - unaffected by their feelings, beliefs, opinions, or assumptions. They can do this by always showing both sides of the story they're writing about. This way, their audience can properly form their own judgment.

If a journalist upholds the interest of the public or serves as the defender of the poor only, he/she will write a biased text.

Using plain English in a news report has nothing to do with the bias.

This is why option A is the correct one.
