B is correct.  "Bizarre" could also be considered creative or imaginative.  A might be considered correct, but "popular" can be supported by statistics.

Answer:

Children often make up bizarre stories about monsters in the closet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A biased statement is one that shows a prejudice for or against someone or something, lacks a neutral viewpoint and therefore, are characterized for having subjective opinions (often without reason) or judgemental adjectives like "bizarre", "bad," and "funny." Statement number 2, then, is the only one that does not have a neutral viewpoint and, thus, it is biased.
