Question C is a cultural reference specific to the United States and may not be familiar to individuals from different cultures. This makes it potentially biased towards individuals who are more familiar with American culture. Questions A and D are more general knowledge questions and do not require cultural knowledge, while question B may have some cultural influence in terms of clothing choices but is not as heavily biased as question C.
