Calling it "biological evolution" doesn't make it less ambiguous. Biological evolution is change - the question is from what to what.
Evolution is not so much a scientific field. Biology and physics are fields - I wouldn't call "evolution" a field. Depending on the definition in use, it is a theory. If we're talking about natural selection - micro evolution, it is an observable biological mechanism which preserves a species or population.
When a survey doesn't ask a question properly, and uses terms with fluid meanings, it simply isn't useful. One can't accept something as true or not true if the terms aren't defined in the first place.
