Cevap
The correct answer is b. Stratified Sampling.<br /><br />In this scenario, the researcher is dividing the city into different regions based on socioeconomic status (low, middle, and high income). This is known as stratification. Then, they are randomly selecting a proportional number of individuals from each socioeconomic group to participate in the study. This is the key characteristic of stratified sampling, where the population is divided into subgroups (strata) and a sample is taken from each subgroup. This ensures that each subgroup is adequately represented in the sample, making it a representative sample of the entire population.
