Stratified sampling:
If the population is very heterogeneous and considerations of cost limit the size of the sample, it may be found impossible to get a sufficiently precise estimate by taking a simple random sample from the entire population. The groups, into which the population is divided, are called strata or each group is called stratum and the whole procedure of dividing the population into the strata and then drawing a random sample from each one of the strata is called stratified random sampling.
In a population divided into 4 strata, the sampling carried out in each of these strata is stratified random sampling.
Hence,
Option (b) stratified sampling is the correct choice.
