○ all high school seniors at eric’s school
○ teachers at eric’s school

Explanation:

The population in a survey is the entire group that the researcher is interested in studying. Eric wants to find the most popular after - school activity among high school seniors at his school. So the population should be all high school seniors at Eric's school. The first option includes all students (not just seniors), the second includes seniors in the district (not just his school), and the fourth includes teachers (not relevant to after - school activities of seniors).

Answer:

C. all high school seniors at Eric's school
