The best sample for estimating the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day would be:
**80 students selected at random during lunch.**
This is because the sample is taken during lunch, a time when students who bring their lunch are more likely to be present, making it a more relevant and representative sample of the entire student population regarding their lunch habits. The other options are either limited to specific groups or not representative of the entire student body.
