For a survey to be generalized to a larger population, the best option is:
**random selection of participants, unbiased questions, at least 50 percent of the population surveyed**
This option emphasizes the importance of random selection to avoid bias, assures that questions don't lead to skewed responses, and suggests a relatively large sample size (50%) for better representativeness of the population, although a sample size greater than 10% is generally considered sufficient for generalization.
