Judgment sampling involves using expert judgment or knowledge to specifically select individuals who are considered to be representative of the population being studied. This is in contrast to convenience sampling (selecting individuals who are readily available), referral sampling (asking participants to refer others), quota sampling (selecting individuals to ensure proportional representation), and systematic sampling (selecting individuals based on a specific interval). Therefore, judgment sampling is the best choice for this scenario.
