Answer: A. Simple Random Sampling

Explanation:

A simple random sampling technique could be explained as being the most basic and approach to choosing an unbiased Number of samples from a given population. This technique simply involves choosing a specified Number of samples at random (each member of the larger sample or population has equal Chance of being selected) from a larger sample or population. It does not require any sort of partitioning during selection. As in the scenario above, the deck of cards represents the large lr population from which 20 cards are to be selected, since the card has been shuffled then each card has equal Chance of being selected.
