A. It is unrepresentative of the larger group.
Convenience samples are usually not randomly chosen, which makes them unrepresentative of the larger population. This means that the individuals in a convenience sample might not reflect the true characteristics or diversity of the entire group being studied.
For example, if a researcher collects data from people who are easily accessible to them (like surveying students in their own class), this convenience sample may not accurately represent the broader population they are trying to understand. Therefore, findings based on a convenience sample may not be generalizable to the larger group.
