Hypothetically, let's say the authors linked their data to the China National Health Survey (CNHS) to capture additional lifestyle and demographic information. The CNHS was a survey conducted on all Hunan Province residents between 2010 and 2015 (prior to the initiation of the case-control study). Each resident was asked about past and current exposure to second-hand smoke. The authors decided to use this information of passive smoking instead of what participants reported in the case-control study questionnaire. In this scenario, what type of misclassification (for passive smoking), if any, do you anticipate is most likely to occur?

a. I do not anticipate any misclassification occurring

b. Non-differential misclassification of disease

c. Non-differential misclassification of exposure

d. Differential misclassification of disease

e. Differential misclassification of exposure
