The sample contains a higher percentage of white respondents (90%) compared to the population (60%), indicating an oversampling of white respondents. The sample does not contain any Hispanic respondents, indicating an undersampling of Hispanic respondents. The percentage of male and female respondents in the sample is equal to that of the population. There is a slight undersampling of black respondents in the sample (10%) compared to the population (30%), but it's not significant enough to warrant choosing option A. Option B is also not a valid choice as there is no undersampling of male respondents in the sample.
