The quantity in survey A is greater.

Reason: A costs less per word ($0.50 vs $0.60), so for the same budget you can buy more words (budget/0.50 > budget/0.60). Also A has lower variability (0.04 vs 0.06), so for a given precision it requires fewer observations. Both facts make A the larger/effective quantity.
