Detailed Solution & Explanation

Purposive sampling (also known as judgmental, selective, or subjective sampling) is a non-probability sampling method where the selection of sample members is based entirely on the judgment, discretion, and knowledge of the sampler/researcher. In contrast, systematic, multi-stage, and stratified sampling are probability-based or structured designs where discretion is minimized or eliminated. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
