The process described in the question is systematic sample selection. This method involves dividing the population into groups or intervals and then selecting items from each interval according to a predetermined pattern or rule. In this case, the size of the interval is calculated beforehand, and items are selected based on their position within the interval. Random sample selection involves selecting items entirely at random, without regard for their position in the population, while computerised sample selection and statistical sampling are broader terms that can encompass various sampling methods, including systematic sampling. Therefore, B is the best choice.
