No I think it is B
The sentence that most clearly exhibits bias is sentence C. "Few would disagree that poor people are incapable of rational thinking". This sentence demonstrates bias because it makes a generalization about poor people, stating that they are incapable of rational thinking. Generalizations like this can be considered biased because they make assumptions about a group of people based on their socioeconomic status.
To identify bias, it is important to look for sweeping generalizations, stereotypes, or personal opinions that are presented as facts. In the case of sentence C, the statement that "few would disagree" is suggesting that the assumption about poor people's rational thinking is widely accepted, which can further indicate bias.
While all sentences may contain some level of subjectivity or personal perspective, sentence C stands out as it directly targets a specific group of people in a negative manner.
