Explanation:

A generalized sample needs to represent the entire student body. Options A, C, and D only target specific, narrow groups (girls in one class, friends, 7th graders) which would create a biased sample. Option B selects students from every class, ensuring a more representative cross-section of the whole school's student population.

Answer:

B. Maricel could survey two students from each class in her school regarding their opinion on the new movie.
