In systematic sampling the samples drawn ........................ .
Answer: A
In systematic sampling the samples drawn are not overlapping.
In systematic sampling the population is listed and every k-th unit is taken after a random start between 1 and k. Each possible random start gives a different sample, and these k possible samples divide the population between them: every unit belongs to exactly one of them, so no two samples share a unit.
The method is random because the start is chosen at random, and it usually gives a well spread, representative sample unless the list has a periodic pattern matching k. So the other three options do not describe it.
