**13 POINTS; I NEED HELP PLEASE

(Provide explanation)

An amusement park has opened a new roller coaster. It is so popular that people are waiting for up to 3 hours for a 2 minutes ride. Concerned about how people who might be willing to wait in line for 3 hours feel about this, they survey the first 100 people as they enter the park.
- What kind of sample is this?
A) a convenience sample ( I chose this answer and it wasn’t correct)

B) cluster sample

C) simple random sample

D) census

The answer should be Census! Census, by goggle meaning “an official count or survey of a population, typically recording various details of individuals.”
Cluster samples are more of different groups being surveyed.
I’m this case it’s for the ride, so it’s only for one thing and No one is getting split up.
