    A

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Obviously it's impossible for anyone to measure the weight and length of all US rattlesnakes.

    Thus, A is correct. 200 is not a large sample compared to millions or billions of rattlesnakes, but is still a lot more reasonable and workable than attempting to measure ALL US rattlesnakes.
