Answer: Use data from the previous steps because they show better results

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific bias occurs when there's a deviation between the observations of a researcher and the accurate representation of data and results.

In this case, the use of data from the previous steps because they show better results will bring about a data bias as it'll lead to inaccuracies of the data being represented.
