Random sampling is where
A
Every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample
B
Every member of the population does not have an equal chance of being selected from the population
C
Every member of the sample has an equal chance of being selected for the population
D
You can select whoever is walking by and is convenient
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple random sampling is a type of probability sampling in which the researcher randomly selects a subset of participants from a population. Each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. Data is then collected from as large a percentage as possible of this random subset.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple random sampling. In simple random sampling (SRS), each sampling unit of a population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. Consequently, each possible sample also has an equal chance of being selected.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition: Random sampling is a part of the sampling technique in which each sample has an equal probability of being chosen. A sample chosen randomly is meant to be an unbiased representation of the total population.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple random sampling is the basic sampling technique where we select a group of subjects (a sample) for study from a larger group (a population). Each individual is chosen entirely by chance and each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample.

Detailed explanation-5: -Random selection refers to how sample members (study participants) are selected from the population for inclusion in the study. Random assignment is an aspect of experimental design in which study participants are assigned to the treatment or control group using a random procedure.
