A university administration wants to find out the most preferred study spot among $12,000$ students on campus. Should they conduct a census or use sampling? If sampling is preferred, what sampling technique should they use? Explain your reasoning.

Use systematic sampling, as it provides a structured way to select participants from the student population

Use convenience sampling, as it is quick and easy to collect data

Conduct a census to obtain data from every student, ensuring complete accuracy

Use sampling, specifically simple random sampling, because it ensures equal representation of all students
