Answer: A. Systematic Sampling

Explanation:

The President is only given a list of names and phone numbers of registered student. Sampling Methods like Stratified and Cluster sampling will not be effective for this survey because we we cannot group them in any way. we do not have much Intel on the students with regards to where they live, which university they go to, Age etc. if we had that information we would be able to group them by age, university, Area/town etc

systematic sample would be effective to generate sample. one easy way to get a sample of 5 students we could make a decision to select every 100th Student phone number in the Sample.
