Ans- Selection bias
(A selection bias comes from any error in selecting the study participants and/or from factors affecting the study participation. As a consequence, the relationship between exposure and disease differs between those included in the study and those potentially eligible for the study.Selection bias also occurs when people volunteer for a study.Selection bias is a distortion in a measure of association (such as a risk ratio) due to a sample selection that does not accurately reflect the target population.This biases the study when the association between a risk factor and a health outcome differs in dropouts compared with study participants.)
