B: Use a 95% confidence level.
C: Decrease the sample size.
D: Use the same confidence level, but compute the interval n times. Approximately 2% of these intervals will be larger.
E: Nothing can guarantee that you will obtain a larger margin of error. You can only say that the chance of obtaining a larger interval is 0.02.
