Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laboratory tests suffer from a lack of realism, meaning that the conditions and variables being tested may not accurately reflect the real-world situations they are meant to represent. This lack of realism can introduce a testing bias, where the results obtained may not reflect what would happen in real life, leading to less reliable and inaccurate conclusions. Therefore, the correct option is B) a testing bias.
