A 1992 Roper poll found that 22% of Americans say that the Holocaust may not have happened.

The results of this poll cannot be trusted because:

• A)undercoverage is present-obviously, those people who did not survive the Holocaust could not be in the poll.
• B)the question is worded in a confusing manner.
• C)we do not know who conducted the poll or who paid for the results.
• D)nonresponse is present-many people will refuse to participate, and those who do will be biased in their opinions.
