  • A.Plagiarism

  • C.Misinterpretation
  • D.Biased sampling

Answer: B

The misconduct is Fabrication.

Research misconduct is usually defined as fabrication, falsification and plagiarism (FFP). Fabrication means making up data or results and recording or reporting them as if they were real; falsification means manipulating or changing real data.

Plagiarism is using another's work without credit, not inventing data. Misinterpretation and biased sampling are errors or weaknesses of method rather than the deliberate invention of data.
