The sample is the group of 3000 registered voters who were interviewed, as this is the group that was surveyed and provided the data for the survey results. The other choices are either the entire population of registered voters in the state (A), a specific subset of the surveyed voters (B), or a calculation based on the survey results (D), but none of them represent the sample itself.
