    Answer: option B

    Explanation: The sampling error also known as the marginal error is given mathematically as

    Margin of error = critical value * (standard deviation/√n)

    Where n = sample size

    As we can see from this formulae, the only variable here is the margin of error and the sample size.

    Hence margin of error = k/√n

    Which implies that there is an inverse relationship between margin of error and sample size.

    A large sample size gives a low margin of error while a small sample size gives a large margin of error.
