Explanation
Faithful representation is the fundamental qualitative characteristic that requires information to be complete, neutral, and free from error. Relevance makes information capable of making a difference in decisions. Comparability allows comparison across entities and periods. Timeliness relates to the availability of information, not accuracy. Faithful representation is the only option describing accuracy and absence of bias.
