Random assignment involves assigning participants to different conditions or groups in a way that each participant has an equal chance of being assigned to any condition or group.

Option B is incorrect because assigning participants alphabetically does not ensure equal chances of being assigned to each condition. Option C is incorrect because random assignment should be determined before the experiment begins. Option D is incorrect because asking for volunteers may introduce bias and does not ensure equal chances of assignment to each condition.
