B. Increases the margin of error and hence decreases the precision
C. Increases the margin of error and hence increases the precision
D. Decreases the margin of error and hence decreases the precision
E. None of the above

A. Decreases the margin of error, so that the precision is increased. It does so as an inverse function of the square root of n.
