Hello everyone,

I was just wondering which of the pieces below is grammatically correct. 

 
A. Yesterday, one hundred people took part in the survey. 12% of the surveyed selected the option �Team sports�.
 
B. Yesterday, one hundred people took part in the survey. 12% of those surveyed selected the option �Team sports�.
 
C. Yesterday, one hundred people took part in the survey. 12% of the participants surveyed selected the option �Team sports�.
 
D. Yesterday, one hundred people took part in the survey. 12% of the surveyed participants selected the option �Team sports�.
 
For me, B - D sound fine, but A is somewhat weird as �12% of the surveyed� is an incomplete phrase. What�s your take on it?
 
Thank you so much in advance!

For me, as a native Brit, B is the best.  Let�s see what the others say.
