If anyone is able to provide assistance at this time i would greatly appreicate it! I am still tossed up between B or C and hope to find out which statement best relates to randomization given the statement provided. Thanks!

B) False; randomization will match all characteristics of the sample to the population in a manner which is unbiased to a particular group.
