Answer:

Option C - a random sample of men who shave and have a heavy beard

Explanation:

Any sample must be a true representative of the sample. The razorblade manufacturer wants to test responses to a new blade for heavy beards. Hence, the sample must include both the attributes. The best sample for the experiment would be a random sample of men who shave and have a heavy beard.

Hope it helps.

Thank you !!
