Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acquiescent response set is when respondents answer in a way that tends to agree with the interviewer, regardless of the content of the question. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it is not related to the acquiescent response set. Option B is incorrect because it is a form of social desirability bias, not acquiescence. Option C is incorrect because using the "Undecided" response is not necessarily related to acquiescence.
