you ought to get a few opinions on this but i think its B
isnt the phrase 'high speed internet access'  rather vague?

anonymous · Answer

i would think it would be B too, i hate these, lol no one ever responds so im usually left guessing.

cwrw238 · Answer

it could also be the sampling  method - did they check that every household had a computer? The fact that there was only 27 replies might mean that many of the 1283 households hadn't. Sorry i cant be of much help
