Answer:

Selection Bias

Step-by-step explanation:

Selection bias is one that is introduced when study participants like data, person, or group is selected with a bias or an error. These participants are not a true representation of the target populations. What ever is concluded from this study may lead to conclusions that is faulty if the selection bias is not taken into account.
