Exit polling is the best choice in this scenario because it involves surveying voters as soon as they leave the polling place, providing immediate feedback on how they voted. Self-selected listener opinion polling (A) relies on individuals volunteering to participate and may not be representative of the overall population. Random-digit dialing (B) can be biased towards those who answer their phone and may not capture the opinions of those who do not have landlines. Straw polling (D) is not considered a reliable method of polling as it involves asking a non-random group of individuals for their opinions.
