A sample is a subset of units in a population that is selected to represent the entire population. A census is a complete count of all units in a population, while a frame is a list of all units in a population. A variable is a characteristic or measurement of interest in a study, but not a subset of units in a population. Therefore, the best choice is C, sample.
