Surveying as many inhabitants as possible will provide a larger sample size and a more representative result than any of the other options. Randomly choosing inhabitants of a neighboring country would not be relevant to the population in question, surveying only students of a local college would not represent the general public, and asking the opinion of only four individuals would not provide enough data. Asking the opinion of retired professors or inhabitants may provide some valuable insight, but it may not be representative of the entire population. Therefore, option B is the best choice for conducting the survey.
