Sensitive survey questions were asked in the presence of a teacher. How may the results be affected?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Participants may give socially acceptable answers

The direct answer is A: participants may give socially acceptable answers. A teacher’s presence can create pressure, fear of judgment, or a wish to please authority. The reasoning is: a sensitive question is asked, the participant notices the teacher, the participant worries about how the answer will look, and the reported answer moves toward what seems acceptable rather than the true view. This is social desirability bias. A is correct. B is wrong because the physical unit does not change merely because a teacher is present. C is wrong because teacher presence does not make a sample random. D is wrong because pressure can reduce objectivity rather than improve it. Privacy, neutral wording, and anonymous responses can reduce this bias. Memory cue: authority nearby may change answers, even when the question is unchanged.
