I believe I can be of assistance here. To start, let's look at the wording of the phrases, ignoring for the moment what they are defined as. Also consider, are you using a method that is random, or one that is systematic?

Note that I ignored the last two possibilities given that C is voluntary, suggesting that anybody can take a survey if they want to, which is obviously not what you need. And I ignored D, given that "convenience" suggests giving a survey to the easiest group possible.
