The answer is **c) non-response bias**.
* **Non-response bias** occurs when individuals selected for a sample refuse to participate in the study.
In this scenario:
* The researchers used a systematic sampling method (every fifth student) to select participants.
* However, not all selected students agreed to participate in the survey.
This non-response can introduce bias because the students who agree to participate may have different views on environmental issues compared to those who refuse to participate.
Let me know if you'd like to explore other types of bias!

To the other tutors:

I strongly suspect that the alleged tutor "textot(100)" is putting these 
problems in AI, copying and pasting and then posting what AI gives.

Dear Edwin, it is just long time I explain it to you and to other tutors
that at least 1.5 years or 2 years (if not more) we all work to feed AI (Artificial Intelligence).

In my opinion, this should be clear even to a hedgehog or a rabbit.

-----------------------

Regarding your suspects, I do not think that they do copy-paste manually:
I think that all this routine is automatized/robotized long time ago, and they
simply load the ID numbers of problems as an array into the system, and this system does all the rest.
