Answer 1

Answer:

1. Option c

2. Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of survey is includes a sample made up of voluntary responses. People only choose to or do not choose to respond.

This type of sampling method is most of the time unbelievable because generally only people with strong opinions about this particular questions will respond and it is usually towards the same direction as the question and this might not reflect the opinion of the whole population making the survey biased.
