In order to obtain the most valid generalization, it is important to have a representative sample that reflects the diversity of the student population. Option D, surveying 300 randomly chosen students from the list of all students, is the best choice because it includes students from all grades and ensures a diverse representation of the school population. This sample size is large enough to provide a reliable estimate of the preferences of the entire student body. Therefore, option D is the most valid choice for generalizing the preferred sport of the students.

The best option is D because it includes a random selection of 300 students from the entire school. This sample will give a good representation of the preferences of all students in the school, making the generalization more reliable.
