Solution

The correct option is B Non-random sampling
All the respondents in Rajdeep's study were the team members from his football team. This is called availability or convenience sampling because the data was readily available to him. Since there was a set criterion for the sample chosen by him (availability), this is an example of non-random sampling. Think about how this may lead to biased data.
