    All are general dictionary definitions of the word 'bias.' I would hypothesize that the definition you picked would depend on what your predisposition was (see definition 'D').

    EDIT:

    ...as every poster above me obviously has clearly demonstrated! They have all favored the point of view that D is the most appropriate answer--I would expect as much on a forum as opinionated and polarized as this one is.

    You get a star!

    D seems to define bias.

    It should be A...... a bias can be positive or negative....

    I think D would be the best option it makes most sense to me.
