Answer:

D

Explanation:

The listeners of the radio talk show are the implied population since they were all invited to answer. The callers were the sample, for they responded. Neither all adults nor all radio listeners can't be categorized as the implied population, because there are many radio stations, and not all adults are used to listen to the radio.
