The correct answer is (c)

Explanation:

Non-statistical sampling and statistical sampling are used by the researcher to forecast and predict the future. Both techniques have positive and negative feedback based on their accuracy. The most valid criticism on non-statistical sampling is that it does not give precise results, which is why statistical sampling is considered more appropriate and statistical sampling provides accurate and precise results.
