Why Do High Schools Often Use Surveys Rather Than a More

Why do high schools often use surveys rather than a more direct form of communication like interviews when they ask students about sensitive subjects like drug use or sexual health?

A) Surveys allow respondents to speak in their own words and can reveal respondents' thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
B) Surveys allow researchers to ask much more complex questions than they could with any other methodology.
C) Surveys allow students to answer the questions in private and assure the confidentiality of their responses.
D) Surveys are more expensive and allow for larger staffs and budgets.
