A recent Harris poll was conducted with a random sample of 1994 Americans, and they were asked the question: "How concerned are you about the economy as a result of COVID-19?" The results of the poll lead to a 95% confidence interval (0.488, 0.531) for respondents of "Very concerned". Choose the best interpretation of the interval below.

A. There is a 95% chance that the actual proportion of all Americans who are very concerned about the economy is between 0.488 and 0.531.

B. In 95 percent of all polls, you will get a sample proportion between 0.488 and 0.531 of those who are very concerned about the economy.

C. We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.488 to 0.531 contains the actual proportion of all Americans who are very concerned about the economy. If we took another sample of the same size, we would be 95% confident that interval would also contain the actual population proportion.
