NEED HELP ASAP, I AM BEING TIMED :(

Maggie wants to know how many students in her school enjoy watching sports on TV. She asks all 25 students in her math class and finds that 60% of her classmates enjoy watching sports on TV. She claims that 60% of the school's student population would be expected to enjoy watching sports on TV. Is Maggie making a valid inference about her population?

A Yes, it is a valid inference because she asked all 25 students in her math class

B Yes, it is a valid inference because her classmates make up a random sample of the students in the school

C No, it is not a valid inference because her classmates do not make up a random sample of the students in the school

D No, it is not a valid inference because she asked all 25 students in her math class instead of taking a sample from her geography class

The answer is C because the students are only a small portion and two not account for the school
