Answer: Convenience sample.

Explanation:

Convenience sample is also known as grab or accident or opportunity samples. It is a example of non probability sample that involves selecting of subjects because of the proximity, convenience and accessibility a researcher as to them. This type of samples are not reliable for data gathering when it involves a very large sample space, let's say a global audience.
