Hm...do you know the definitions of each of these?

Not entirely

anonymous · Answer

Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling technique where subjects are selected because of their convenient accessibility and proximity to the researcher.

a simple random sample is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a larger set (a population). Each individual is chosen randomly and entirely by chance.

Systematic sampling is a statistical method involving the selection of elements from an ordered sampling frame.

(i couldn't find a clear definition for volunteer sampling but it basically means someone volunteers to do it.) 

Read your question again and tell me which one you think is correct now.

Wish you the best of luck! :]
