Correct answer & explanation
✓
Audit the training data for bias
Auditing the training data for bias helps identify if the model learned biased patterns. Option A is wrong because retraining with more data may not solve the bias if the new data also contains bias. Option C is wrong because removing demographic features may not eliminate bias if other correlated features exist. Option D is wrong because changing the algorithm does not address biased data.
