To find the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots, we need to calculate the relative frequency of carrots grown in sandy soil.

Relative frequency = (Number of farms growing carrots in sandy soil) / (Total number of farms)

Relative frequency = 120 / 220 = 0.545

Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots is 54.5%.

So, the correct answer is:

54.5%
