GPT-4o mini · Answer

When deciding if the results of a survey can be generalized to a larger population, in addition to random sampling and adequate sample size, one must also consider:

C. Question bias

Question bias can affect how respondents interpret and answer questions, which can lead to inaccurate or skewed results that do not accurately reflect the larger population. It's essential to ensure that questions are clear, unbiased, and designed to elicit genuine responses to improve the generalizability of the survey results.
