Simple random sampling is a method of selecting a sample from a population in which each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. This method is considered the most unbiased because all individuals in the population have an equal chance of being selected for the sample. Option A, B, and D are not correct. Sampled population is not a sampling technique but refers to the group that was actually sampled. Systematic sampling involves selecting members of a population according to a systematic sequence, whereas self-selected sampling involves selecting individuals who volunteer to participate in the study.
