Answer:

low reliability

Step-by-step explanation:

Qualitative in-depth interviews are very much influenced by the interviewer. No two interviewers will have exactly the same interview. The hope, however, is that the interviews will achieve high validity. To maximize validity, in-depth interviewers probe respondents with follow-up questions to fully understand their answers. The premise of the method is that the human connection and sustained communication between interviewer and interviewee will produce high-quality, valid data.

Or it could also be bias depending if one asked females and one asked males and depending on the gender of the researchers but that seems far stretched for me so i think it is the answer above.
