C. Every 10th student from a list of all students in Janine's grade is selected and asked for whom the student intends to vote.
D. Janine chooses 5 of her friends and asks each to select another 5 students. These 25 students are asked for whom they intend to vote.

Answer 1

answer is D

There is more likely to have a bias due to the fact that there will be more friends of Janine than if students were chosen at random. More friends will most likely mean for votes for her
