Let us begin by defining each type of sampling

Stratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population that can be partitioned into subpopulations.

In cluster sampling, researchers divide a population into smaller groups known as clusters. They then randomly select among these clusters to form a sample.

Convenience sampling (also known as grab sampling, accidental sampling, or opportunity sampling) is a type of non-probability sampling that involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand.

A voluntary response sample can be defined as a sample made up of participants who have voluntarily chosen to participate as a part of the sample group.

The researcher in this problem selected 2 random busloads of students. This sample can be further divided into subpopulations.

Answer: Stratified sampling
