What harm can misuse of data in a policy decision cause?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Wrong priorities may be set and resources may be misallocated

The correct answer is A: misuse of data can produce wrong priorities and misallocation of resources. Data helps a government understand the size, location, and nature of a problem, but incomplete figures, selective presentation, or incorrect interpretation can distort that understanding. The government may then direct money, staff, or services toward the wrong problem or leave an important group without adequate support. Option B describes a possible benefit of accurate and properly used data, not misuse. Option C cannot be guaranteed by misuse and ignores unequal effects. Option D is wrong because evaluation does not become impartial automatically; it requires sound evidence and careful methods. Memory cue: bad data use can lead to bad priorities and bad allocation.
