B. Park users are more likely to be willing pay more to improve park.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample is biased because it is only made up of people that patronize and use the park. They will be more willing to pay to improve the park because it satisfies and fulfills their needs.

This given sample is not representative of the poll as it is restricted to park users alone which are not the only tax payers in the area.

To have a more balanced representation, the whole population should be sampled irrespective of whether they are park users or not. This will give a fair representation.
