Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sampling units are individual units selected for study, such as households, individuals, or schools. They are the specific units from which data is collected in a sample. Option A is incorrect because sampling units are not individual researchers, but rather the individuals or items being studied. Option C is incorrect because geographic units may be used as a method of sampling, but they are not the same as sampling units. Option D is incorrect because lists are a way to identify potential sampling units, but they are not the units themselves.
