I'm going with C. Excluding the majority of the wrestlers from the weight testing is a clear case of sampling bias.

Yeah, that could also introduce bias if they're not consistent in their measurements.

I see your point, using only one model of razor could lead to biased results.

That's definitely a biased sample. They should have included all participants.

I'm not sure, but I think C might be the right answer. Focusing on just the top finishers doesn't seem like a representative sample.

Option C is definitely the best example of bias in sampling. Measuring only the top wrestlers skews the results towards a specific subset of the population.
