Statistical surveys are broadly categorized into 2, sample survey and census (complete enumeration). Census consider the entire population.
Bias is a common problem that occur in surveys. Different types of biases are there.
Nonresponse bias indicates that the subjects in the study is refused to participate in the study. Here the teacher asked to respond the students who cheated on exam. Here the question is sensitive and hence the students are less likely to respond even if they cheated on exam. This indicates a nonresponse bias. So option B nonresponse bias is the correct option.
Response bias happens when the subjects are given wrong response. Here the teacher asked to respond the only students who cheated on exam. It is not asked each students whether they cheated on exam. So option A response bias is not the correct option.
Selection bias happens when there is bias occurred in the sample selection. No such sample is taken here. So option C, selection bias is not the correct option.
