B) stratified random sampling.
C) cluster sampling.
D) judgment sampling.

Answer 1

The answer is Judgment sampling

Explanation:

Judgment sampling also known as judgmental sampling is a form of sampling which is non probability(not every individual has a chance of being included) where sample members are chosen only on the basis of the researcher’s knowledge and judgment.

Judgmental sampling is effective when one feel that other sampling techniques will consume more time and that they have confidence in their knowledge to select a sample for conducting the research. It is also used in situations where the sample selected using other sampling methods need to be approved or filtered
