In order to calculate the percentage chance that farmers with Sandy soil preferred to grow carrots, we need to look at the relative frequencies of farmers with Sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots compared to all farmers with Sandy soil.

Let's assume that the survey data shows that out of 100 farmers with Sandy soil, 25 preferred to grow carrots.

Percentage chance = (Number of farmers with Sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots / Total number of farmers with Sandy soil) * 100
Percentage chance = (25/100) * 100
Percentage chance = 25%

Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with Sandy soil preferred to grow carrots is 25%, which rounds to the nearest 10th as 24.5%.

Therefore, the closest option is:
A) 54.5%
