Answer

# Answer: C. Gathering a week's worth of sales data from the store manager. # Brief Explanations: Asking friends or noting parents' purchases is a small - non - representative sample. Watching on one specific night is also limited. Sales data over a week is more comprehensive and less biased as it reflects overall customer behavior.
