selecting female customers who purchase an item

selecting 100 customers from a customer list at random

Answer 1

The option that would most likely lead to a biased sample is:

selecting female customers who purchase an item

This approach introduces bias because it only includes one specific demographic group (female customers) and excludes male customers or those who may not identify as female. As a result, the sample would not be representative of the entire customer base. The other options involve more random or systematic methods of selection that are less likely to introduce bias.
