Question 2

Several watch-dog consumer groups have criticized the fast food industry for serving food with excessive fat content. One watch-dog announced that it will randomly select one fast food chain per week.

For this scenario, what best describes the watch-dog's sampling activities each week?
A) Multistage sampling B) Stratified sampling
C) Systematic sampling D) Cluster sampling
