To drill or not to drill? That is the big question as Americans face climbing gas prices. A group of research scientists employed by the Mobil Oil Company conducted a study on the feasibility of drilling for oil off the coast of California. They researched the impact of oil drilling on near-by ecosystems and investigated the likelihood of future oil spills. According to their data, coastal California would be an excellent location to drill for oil.
What is one reason the research findings COULD be considered biased?
A) There is no "real" data; it is all hypothetical.
B) The Mobil Oil Company would profit from the drilling; they should use independent researchers.
C) The Mobil Oil Company did not conduct a survey of California residents about drilling for oil.
D) In order for the research to be unbiased, tests should be run repeatedly and in various locations.
