Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barbara's confusion indicates that she did not intentionally provide false information (so B is not correct) nor did she actively try to present herself in a socially desirable way (so D is not correct). There is also no mention of an interviewer who may have influenced the results (so A is not correct). Instead, Barbara may have unconsciously misrepresented her responses due to confusion with the question format and content.
