The population in this scenario would be all the workers in the factory because the aim is to examine the morale among workers in general, which means studying the entire group of workers rather than a subset of them. Option A represents the sample, not the population. Option B excludes the sample from the population, which is incorrect. Option D is not relevant to the scenario.
