Random sampling is a method where every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. Choice A is not necessarily random as a large sample size does not guarantee that every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. Choice B is not a valid type of sampling as there cannot be an infinite number of subjects in a population. Choice D is not random as every member of the population is being selected, which does not allow for an equal chance of being chosen.
