AThe relative frequency is 0.05 higher than the theoretical probability.
BThe relative frequency is equal to the theoretical probability.
CThe relative frequency is 0.30 lower than the theoretical probability.

A spinner with four sections (A, B, C, and D) was spun 50 times. The results are shown in the table. Based on these results, if the spinner is spun 1,000 times, how many times would you expect it to land on section B?
