Margin of error equals:
A
Critical Value ∗ standard Error
B
z*
C
1.96
D
Standard Error
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The margin of error can be calculated in two ways, depending on whether you have parameters from a population or statistics from a sample: Margin of error (parameter) = Critical value x Standard deviation for the population. Margin of error (statistic) = Critical value x Standard error of the sample.

Detailed explanation-2: -The margin of error is equal to half the width of the entire confidence interval.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is critical value? In statistics, critical value is the measurement statisticians use to calculate the margin of error within a set of data and is expressed as: Critical probability (p*) = 1-(Alpha / 2), where Alpha is equal to 1-(the confidence level / 100).
