In cluster sampling, the population is divided into naturally occurring groups/sections called clusters. Some of these clusters are selected randomly for the sampling and all the units are taken from these randomly selected clusters to study.
For this case, the government official selected five schools at random from the 20 schools in her area and then interviews each of the teachers in those five schools. Clearly, this is an example of cluster sampling and the sample is known as a cluster sample.
Correct option:
b. a cluster sample.
