Answer
Brief Explanations:
In systematic random sampling, a starting - point is selected and then every kth element in the population is chosen. Here, the tenth person is the starting - point and every fifth person after that is selected. In random sampling, each element has an equal chance of being selected without a fixed pattern. Stratified sampling divides the population into subgroups (strata) and samples from each stratum. Cluster sampling divides the population into clusters and samples entire clusters.

C. systematic random sampling.
