Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The most noticeable bias for this survey is response bias. This is because people may want to give an answer that they think the newspaper reporter wants to hear or they may be hesitant to share their true feelings about patriotism during a time of war or armed conflict. This can lead to inaccurate results and a biased sample.
