Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Random-digit dialing is a method used in telephone surveys where researchers generate random phone numbers and dial them to reach potential respondents. However, this method often results in calling numbers that are disconnected or not in service, which can compound the problems of using telephone directories. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe random-digit dialing.
