A sample is a subset of the population that a researcher selects in order to study and make inferences about the larger population. The sample should be representative of the population to ensure that the results of the study can be generalized to the larger population.

A focus group (D) is a specific type of qualitative research method that involves a small group of people discussing a specific topic, and is not necessarily representative of the larger population.
