Explanation:

• Web-based surveys often have lower costs than face-to-face surveys (no travel, in-person staff costs), so the cost claim is false.
• Well-designed web-based surveys can be highly valid, so the "rarely valid" claim is false.
• Results between face-to-face and web-based surveys are not always conflicting; they can align depending on design and population, so that claim is false.
• Web-based surveys are scalable, accessible, and increasingly used, so their future is encouraging.

Answer:

O The future of web-based surveys is encouraging.
