Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice of survey method can be made by considering which method will generate the most complete and generalizable information within the time horizon and without exceeding the allowable expenditure for data collection. This takes into account both the quality and the cost of the survey method. The other options, such as considering the customer's comfort or the researcher's preference, do not necessarily ensure the best quality or cost-effectiveness for the survey. The option of validating the data with multiple methods is a good practice, but does not directly answer the question of which survey method to choose.
