Solution

The correct option is B a reasonable degree of accuracy
It is not possible for statistical data to be 100% accurate. Statistical facts can be affected by multiple causes, there is a lot of scope for error to be embedded in the data collected, one reason is that there may be biases on the part of the interviewer and/or the interviewee. Thus, large samples are taken to ensure reasonable degree of accuracy.
