The option that shows bias by omission is:
**A flyer for a test prep company says that students who used its study course scored 85% or higher but does not mention that students who did not use the study course scored equally well.**
This is an example of bias by omission because it selectively presents information that favors the study course without providing relevant data that would give a more balanced perspective on the outcomes for students who did not use the course.
