Answer
A
all her patients
B
patients with no cavities
C
patients younger than 18
D
every 20th patient
E
every patient with braces

Explanation

A sample is biased if it focuses on a group that may floss differently from all of the dentist’s patients. Patients with no cavities may floss more often, and patients younger than 18 or patients with braces may have different flossing habits from the overall patient group. Asking all her patients includes the whole group, while every 20th patient is a systematic sample that can represent it.
