The most appropriate sampling for this would be "stratified sampling".

Stratified sampling alludes to a kind of testing technique. With stratified sampling, the investigator partitions the populace into discrete gatherings, called strata. At that point, a probability test is drawn from each gathering. Stratified sampling has a few favorable circumstances over simple random sampling. For instance, utilizing stratified sampling, it might be conceivable to decrease the sample size required to accomplish a given accuracy. Or on the other hand it might be conceivable to increase the accuracy with a similar sample size.
