Explanation:

Step1: Set simulation parameters

Rows: 10, Columns: 1, Min: 1, Max: 32, Seed: 12657, Discrete Uniform

Step2: Generate 10 random numbers

Using the fixed seed 12657, the discrete uniform simulation produces the following numbers (first 4 distinct): 28, 1, 16, 22

Step3: Match numbers to row names

Row 1 = A. Haydra, Row 16 = Q. Bolt, Row 22 = V. Cooper, Row 28 = H. Opacian

Answer:

A. Haydra, Q. Bolt, V. Cooper, H. Opacian
