The three questions researchers need to consider when developing a sampling plan are:
1) Who should be included in the sample? 
2) How should participants be chosen (sampling procedure)? 
3) How many participants should be included in the sample? 
Option A is related to the rationale for selecting a particular sample, but it is not one of the three questions researchers need to consider when developing a sampling plan. Option C is not a relevant question as researchers generally aim to include a representative sample, and option D is a procedural question rather than a question of sample selection.
