To use systematic sampling, the researcher needs to select a random starting point and then select every nth name on the list. In this case, the researcher needs to select 50 customers from a sampling frame of 250 customers, so the sampling interval would be 250/50 = 5. Therefore, the researcher should select every 5th name on the list after the random starting point. Therefore, the answer is C: 5^th.
