    Option "a."

    Explanation:

    Margin of error is calculated as critical value x standard error. Thr standard error, or standard deviation, includes the range of values that deviate both above and below a sample. This standard deviation is the level of errors that come from random sampling. A higher margin of error would indicate that the sample being analyzed has a lower likelihood of accurately representing the population. A smaller margin of error would indicate that the one can have a higher confidence in the sample being an accurate representative of the polulation.

    Therefore, a chance variation in selecting a random sample is a critical component of the margin of error. Other options mentioned do affect a survey but cannot be included in the margin of error. Hence, option a. is the correct answer.
