Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Bias refers to a distorted or unfair judgment or disposition, which may or may not be intentional. While bias can be ideological, it can also stem from personal experiences, beliefs, or unconscious attitudes. Omitting important information or facts can also result in bias. While partisanship can be a form of bias, bias is not always linked to political affiliations. Hence, option A is the correct statement.
