Answer:

In basic terms, a population is the total number of individuals, animals, items, observation, data, etc. So the sample, in other words, is a portion, part, or fraction of the whole group, and acts as a subset of the population. Samples are used in a variety of settings where research is conducted.

I think the answer is B because it is impractical to survey every member of a population
