When selecting $K$ for K-Fold CV, we should consider a bias-variance trade-off. K-Fold CV provides $K$ estimates of the model error. The mean of the errors indicates the model's bias. A lower mean value indicates a higher accuracy of the model. The model variance is calculated based on the standard deviation of the errors. A lower variance indicates a low variation in the model performance. Usually, it is difficult to reduce both model bias and variance.
