Answer to Question 1

D
For count data, the Poisson or count regression model is used.

Answer to Question 2

Responses bias falls into four specific categories:
(1) Acquiescence bias - a tendency to agree with all or most questions. For example, respondents may respond favorably to a new product concept to please the researcher but have no intention to purchase the product.
(2) Extremity bias - results because some individuals tend to use extremes when responding to questions. For example, a respondent may always respond extremely likely or extremely unlikely and never use the options in between.
(3) Interviewer bias - occurs because the presence of the interviewer influences respondents' answers. For example, a respondent may want to appear intelligent and say they read the newspaper every day when in reality they do not.
(4) Social desirability bias - may occur either consciously or unconsciously because the respondent wishes to create a favorable impression or save face in the presence of an interviewer. For example, a respondent may say they only drink alcohol occasionally when they really drink quite a bit every day.
