Why the correct response was chosen:
A normal distribution is not followed by the sample median's sampling distribution.
Hence, the correct option is (b). 
Reasons for the incorrect answers: 
The sample is a random sample from a population, which is not an important assumption. 
Thus, option (a) is incorrect. 
Option (c) is incorrect because there are outliers in the sample. 
Conclusion: 
The sample distribution for the sample median must not be well approximated by the normal distribution, which is a crucial presumption for using the bootstrap method.
