The data collected in this scenario represents a **sample** (option B).
A census involves collecting data from every member of the population, while a sample involves collecting data from a subset of the population. Since Paul conducted a survey of only the boys on the team rather than all boys involved in basketball globally or a broader population, he is gathering information from a sample of the overall population of interest.
