A

Explanation:

By definition, a population includes all of the elements from a set of data. In this study, the subject is the TV viewing habits of all the children attending the school. So all of the children attending the school will be considered the population in the study.

The statement that "Professor DeVries randomly selected and interviewed 50 of the school's students" indicates that 50 of the school's students is a sample, which is a subset of population.
