An interview conducted by reading questions over the telephone and recording replies.

• A. Postal questionnaires
• B. Telephone questionnaires
• C. Self-completion questionnaires
• D. Structured interview

Answer: (B)

This describes a telephone questionnaire. The defining feature is that a fixed set of questions is read aloud to the respondent over the phone and the interviewer records the replies. This combines the standardization of a questionnaire with live administration via the telephone, setting it apart from self-completion (respondent fills in themselves) and postal questionnaires (no interviewer).
