Cross-sectional studies measure units from a sample of the population at one point in time. Longitudinal studies, on the other hand, measure the same units from the same sample of the population over an extended period. Sample surveys can refer to various types of research designs and are not specific to measuring units at one point in time. Population research is a broad term that does not refer to a specific research design. Both B and C are not both correct, as they refer to different types of research designs.
