B. Cluster

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

In this question:

Each Continental Airlines flight is a group.

30 of them are chosen, and in each group chosen, every passenger is surveyed.

So cluster sampling was used.
