Answer:

the answer is B

b) Simple random sampling

Using sampling concepts, it is found that the correct option is:

A.) cluster sampling

Samples may be classified as:

  • Convenient: Drawn from a conveniently available pool.
  • Random: All the options into a hat and drawn some of them.
  • Systematic: Every kth element is taken.  
  • Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.
  • Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, only some elements of each group are surveyed.

In this problem:

  • The students are divided into groups, according to their periods.
  • All the elements of a period are selected, hence, cluster sampling is used, and option A is correct.
