Many tennis players dispute calls made by officials as to whether a ball is in bounds.
C
Many tennis players sign contracts with athletic gear companies to promote their products.
D
The tennis player was visibly upset by the official’s call.

Explanation

Bias by labeling uses judgmental or emotionally charged words to describe someone or something. In choice A, “childish” and “viciously” negatively characterize the tennis player rather than simply describing what happened. The other sentences are more neutral or factual.
