The second sampling method is the most representative (option D).

What is a sample?

A sample is a percentage or part of a population that is used to study a specific phenomenon. The purpose of selecting a sample is to avoid studying all the population but still obtain results that can represent all the population.

When is a sample representative?

A sample is representative when individuals with different features are selected. For example, if you want to know if the population of a city supports recycling you will need to ask

  • women/men.
  • young/old people.
  • Among others.

In the case presented, for the sample to be representative the researcher will need to survey both members of the football and the soccer team. This is ideal because there can be differences between the teams.

Based on this, the best is to use the second sampling method because this will be representative.
