Answer:

C. Can have a large influence on survey results.

Explanation:

Several public opinion polls conducted in America have shown that subtle differences in the way questions are worded can largely influence the results of the survey.

An example, was a public opinion poll on free speech conducted in the year 1970. Different wordings of the questions asked, produced remarkable differences in the response from respondents.

This challenge can be overcome by asking the questions in a rotational manner, or dividing the questions into two parts. Respondents are divided into two groups who are administered the questions respectively.
