b) nonresponse bias

Explanation:

Non-Response bias affects the interpretation and results by having fundamental difference by the responders and Non-responders. In these studies, we cannot interpret the correct data results because the concerned group is not evaluated. For example, If you are conducting a research of the effects of the Alcohol, you cannot interpret the result if Alcoholic persons do not participate.
