Answer:

b) all of the cupcakes in the bakery

Step-by-step explanation:

in statistics, the population is a group of people/things that are in the same category for collecting data. c) and d) are thus wrong since no data is collected about the other goods or the employees, while a) is wrong because that is just a sample (which helps to test for a large population) and not the actual population.

i hope this helps! :D
