A)  placebo effect 
B)  sampling bias 
C)  social desirability 
D)  response set

Response Set

A tendency to respond to questions or situations in a particular way, often based on bias or habit, rather than analyzing each case individually.

Questionnaires

A research tool consisting of a series of questions for the purpose of gathering information from respondents.
