Part A: The respondents are a voluntary response sample (Option C)

Part B: Responses may not reflect the opinions of the general population (Option D)

The total number of internet users = 1072

Percentage of the total number of people that chose to respond = 38%

Note that this survey does not compel all the population to respond to the survey. Responses are gotten from voluntary respondents.

Also note that a voluntary response sample is a sample that consists of participants who chose to participate in a sample group voluntarily.

In this type of survey, the people who decided to provide voluntary responses to the survey are called voluntary response samples

The percentage of those that chose to respond to this survey (38%) is less than half of the total population. This obviously shows that the responses may not reflect the opinions of the general population
