Correct Answer

Option bRandom sampling

All Options:

  • AStratified Sampling
  • BRandom sampling
  • CMulti-stage sampling
  • DSystematic sampling

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Among the sampling methods, **Random Sampling** (specifically Simple Random Sampling) is a probability sampling method where every unit in the population has an equal and independent chance of being selected. Since the selection is based entirely on chance (e.g., using random number tables or lottery systems), it is completely free from the personal biases or preferences of the sampler.

Other methods like Stratified, Multi-stage, or Systematic sampling can sometimes involve choices or configurations by the investigator that could introduce bias, though they are also classified as probability sampling methods.

Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
