## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the relevant population for an opinion poll about the current president's performance. The relevant population is the group of individuals from which the sample is drawn for a study or survey. ## Step 2Option A is not the correct answer because it only includes people who respond that the president is doing a good job. This is a subset of the population and does not represent all the people who could potentially respond to the survey.## Step 3Option B is also not the correct answer because it includes people who do not respond to the survey. These individuals are not part of the sample and their opinions are not being considered in the survey.## Step 4Option C is not the correct answer because it only includes the 2,500 individuals surveyed. This is the sample, not the population.## Step 5Option D is the correct answer because it includes all people in the country. This is the population from which the sample is drawn. The survey is being conducted to gather opinions from the population, and the sample is a subset of this population.
