    B. the large sample size for the call-in survey indicates it is a more representative sample.

    Explanation:

    It is necessary when choosing a sample that it is representative to the population so the estimation is precise. A larger sample size provide more accurate data as it provides a smaller margin of error. In this case, the call-in survey is a more representative sample of the population in the US so the data could be considered more accurate.
