Answer 1

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

We used sampling technique to collect samples throughout the instance of Options a and b because here each successive sample frame has the same gap of 10 (in the example) and in 'b' is 1, but we use a simple random sampling in 'b' and 'c' to collect the test because they can't follow any specific pattern from of the collecting systems here.
