I would go for a) since I am not certain all 200 students prefer just basket ball. Secondly it is probable that a given number of k students chosen to belong to a certain group G1 due to their likeness for a particular sport, might also like another sport and grouped in to G2 with m individuals as well? randomized sampling, maybe?
