How were the data collected and presented?
C
Were the data published recently or long ago?
D
Are the data easy for most people to understand?

Explanation

To identify bias, ask how the data were collected and presented. The way a sample is chosen or results are displayed can unfairly influence what the data seem to show. Recency, interest, and ease of understanding may matter for other reasons, but they do not reveal bias as directly.
