Answer - D. (Absence of bias)

The fact that the distribution of the percent of teens who say "yes" in all the samples is centered at the truth about the population (66%) shows the absence of bias in the Systematic Reviews (SRs). Lack of bias is a desirable characteristic of sample proportions as it lends to its reliability.
