Answer: systematic

Explanation:

  • In random sampling researcher choose elements randomly for sample .
  • In convenience sampling individuals are selected as per his convenience and comfort.
  • In systematic sampling individuals are selected in a systematic way by using a fix periodic interval k from the entire population .
  • In cluster sampling clusters (of homogeneous elements) are selected to make a sample.

Given, When grading English papers, the instructor checks every 4th paper for plagiarism which expresses a fixed periodic interval.

Hence, this is systematic sampling.
