Which of the following best describes systematic sampling?
A
Selecting participants at a random starting point and then at a fixed, periodic interval
B
Dividing the population into clusters and then selecting one cluster group to participate
C
Dividing the population into various cluster groups and then randomly selecting participants
D
Selecting individuals at random from the list of volunteers already obtained from the population
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling method in which sample members from a larger population are selected according to a random starting point but with a fixed, periodic interval. This interval, called the sampling interval, is calculated by dividing the population size by the desired sample size.

Detailed explanation-2: -Systematic sampling is a probability sampling method where researchers select members of the population at a regular interval – for example, by selecting every 15th person on a list of the population. If the population is in a random order, this can imitate the benefits of simple random sampling.

Detailed explanation-3: -In systematic sampling, all units of the population have equal chance of being elected in the sample.

Detailed explanation-4: -Systematic sampling: Researchers use the systematic sampling method to choose the sample members of a population at regular intervals. It requires selecting a starting point for the sample and sample size that can be repeated at regular intervals.
