Answer:

B. Bias or motives can affect a message no matter how honest the source.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bias is an idiosyncratic tendency that an individual or a group may possess, regardless of them being aware of it or not. For this reason, it is always important to analyze and even research the agenda that this individual or group of people may have in order to ascertain what their motivations and objectives are and evaluate if they are concordant with what one wants, wishes, or simply desires.
