Answer:

the 100 students who are surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample: The term refers to the process of selecting a group of objects, people, or items, that are being taken from a large population for measurement. The sample taken for the research or study purpose should be representative of the population being taken to generalize the findings of the same. The population from which the subjects are being selected is the target population.

The sample in this study is the 100 students who are surveyed.
