Probability sampling allows for the selection of clusters that represent the population being studied. However, if clusters are similar in terms of certain characteristics, this could potentially skew the results. By obtaining a large sample from many clusters, the researcher can ensure that the sample is more representative and reduces the likelihood of subjects within clusters sharing similar characteristics. Therefore, D is the best choice. The other options (A, B, C) are not directly addressed by probability sampling and would require different approaches to control these potential problems.
