Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Systematic sampling is a probability type of samplng method in which elements are picked from a large population at a random start point and then the others are picked by constant periodic intervals which is usually done by dividing the population size by the chosen sample size. Then do a random start between 1 and the sampling interval, then repeatedly add the sampling interval to select subsequent elements.
