Answer to Question 1

D
After the population is defined, the next step is to identify the sampling frame.

Answer to Question 2

First, coding categories should be exhaustive, meaning that a coding category should exist for all possible responses. If there is a large number of possibilities, an other category is used to ensure that the categories are all-inclusive. Second, the coding categories should be mutually exclusive (independent), which means that there should be no overlap among the categories to ensure that a subject or response can be placed in only one category.
