There are two diffierent types of samples:

Representative: Samples that are selected using methods that tries to represent a population.

Non-representative: Samples that are selected using methods that do not try to represent a population.

Known representative methods are: Random, Stratified, Cluster and Systematic, etc.

Non representative method: Convenience.

As we can see the convenience method is a Non-representative method once it requires minimal effort and criteria during the selection which means the sample probably will not represent it's population. So the final answer is Convenience.
