A survey that takes measurements from all elements of a population is a census. A representative sample only selects a subset of the population, so choices A, B, and C are not accurate descriptions. A stratified random sample involves dividing the population into subgroups and then randomly selecting individuals from each subgroup, so it is not the same as a census.
