Solution
In stratified sampling, the population is partitioned into non-overlapping groups, called strata and a sample is selected by some design within each stratum.
If population density varies greatly within a region, stratified sampling will ensure that estimates can be made with equal accuracy in different parts of the region, and that comparisons of sub-regions can be made with equal statistical power.
Hence stratified sampling produce a smaller error of estimation than would be produced by a simple random sample of the same size
Hence the correct option is A) More accurate
