Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A sampling frame is a list of all the members in a population of interest, which is used to draw a sample. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A, voluntary response sample, refers to a biased sample where only those who choose to participate are included. Option B, representative sample, is a sample that reflects the characteristics of the population of interest and may be drawn from a sampling frame. Option C, full population, refers to the complete set of individuals or observations that the researcher is interested in studying, which may not be possible to gather in its entirety. Option E, probability sample, is a type of sampling where each member of the population has a known, non-zero probability of being selected in the sample, and it may also be drawn from a sampling frame.
