Answer:

B) All the beavers in the park.

Explanation:

He randomly picked 10 beavers out of all of the park out of all the beavers and weighed them. The 10 beavers wouldn't be all of the population otherwise he would say he took the 10 beavers that the park had not "A researcher wants to know the average weight that all the beavers in the park weigh. He randomly selects 10 beavers."

The populations is all of the beavers at the park and the sample is the 10 that he randomly chose. A population means the total amount, so it wouldn’t make sense that it would be 10. A sample is a portion of the entire population, so 10 would be the right answer since it is only a portion of the entire population. 31 does not work because it is the data that is found using the sample of 10 beavers.
