Answer:

D) stratified

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified sampling is one of the sampling methods in which the total population is further divided into sub populations. The total members of the group are divided into smaller units so that each group is left with homogeneous subgroups. This type of sampling method helps in the reduction of error in sampling. In the above case, the market researcher applies the method of stratified sampling technique.
