To determine which of the options is not a strength of the study's research design, we need to consider the typical strengths associated with each attribute:
1. **Collecting data from a large sample size**: This is generally considered a strength because larger sample sizes can increase the reliability and validity of the results.
2. **Randomly sampling NYC residents**: This is also a strength, as random sampling helps to ensure that the sample is representative of the larger population, reducing bias.
3. **Randomly assigning participants to control and experimental groups**: This is a crucial strength in experimental research design, as it helps to ensure that any differences observed between groups can be attributed to the intervention rather than other factors.
Since all of the provided attributes are indeed strengths of research designs, the correct answer would be:
**All of the above.**
This response means that every listed attribute is a recognized strength of the study's research design.
