The contact rate is the percentage of households that Sherry successfully contacted out of the total attempted, which is calculated as follows:

Contact Rate = (Number of Successful Contacts / Number of Attempted Contacts) x 100%

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Contact Rate = (400 / 600) x 100% = 67%

Therefore, the correct answer is B)67%.
