Answer:

Reporting Bias

Explanation:

The most likely source of error in this study will be reporting bias. This is a type of error that occurs when there is selective reporting of some outcomes.

There are several causes of cancer and picking only industries as one to base the study upon, would definitely lead to reporting error. The information sort for the sake of this study by the researcher is only a fraction of relevant evidence and could lead to wrong findings and inappropriate decisions.
