Answer: B- interviewing college students to find what percentage expect a job immediately after graduation

This option analyzes the perspective of college students as a whole, whereas option A only focuses on a minority group of elderly. Additionally, options C and D are moreso experiments and not surveys that can be applied on a larger scale.
