To find the probability of a person preferring design A, we need to add up the number of people who prefer design A and divide by the total number of people in the sample. From the table, we see that there are 76 people who prefer design A out of a total of 200 people, so the probability is 76/200 = 0.38. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
