Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Here you choosed correct option.

Option (b)

As we consider large sample size for the survey then that sample includes more people which may have some vegeterian and non vegeterian students. From small sample size we can not reach to good decision about population. Here given sample size is only n = 7 which is very small. If there are 500 students in school then we have to select at least 100 students or greater than 30 students for better analysis.
