Answer
# Brief Explanations:
To estimate the proportion of all current students who like the movie, the sample should be randomly selected from current students and not be pre - filtered by movie - watching status. Option A has bias as it uses only the first 50 responses of an online poll. Option C only surveys students who have seen the movie, which may not represent all current students. Option D surveys alumni instead of current students. Option B randomly surveys 50 current students, which is the most appropriate for representing the entire population of current students.
# Answer:
B. Surveying 50 current students at random
