The most appropriate sample for determining the favorite type of book among all seventh grade students would be:
**B. every fifth student in the seventh grade**
This option provides a systematic way to sample students across the entire seventh grade, helping to ensure a more representative sample of the entire population. The other options either focus too narrowly on a specific group (like all boys in one class or just girls in the classes) or don't cover enough of the diverse viewpoints among the seventh graders.
