Solution

The correct option is B A sample survey based on non-random sampling
A census survey for an entire state is cumbersome and unfeasible. Since the scheme is implemented to help academically backward students in the population, the survey should be answered by academically backward students. There is a fixed criterion for selecting the sample. Hence, non-random sampling is the most appropriate choice.
