b. Systematic sampling

c. Convenience sampling

d. Network sampling

Answer 1

1. The sampling method is systemic sampling.Because in the study the authur follow all the criterias for the systemic sampling method,like deciding the group size,deviding the pop[ulation  by the sample size also it has the cpmplete list of its population.

simple random sampling is the wrong answer beacuse it is the sampling by chance.But in the study the samples are not selected by chance.

In network sampling the sampled network is being observed like a family or or some population.

And for sure it is not a convinience sampling because in convenience sampling the samples are at easy reach like the group of people standing in shop
