To allow for an appropriately randomized experiment, the best population to choose would be Population #1: dogs in California. This population includes a diverse mix of different breeds and types of dogs, allowing for a more comprehensive study on how diet affects activity levels across various dogs. The other populations (Golden retrievers in Omaha and Poodles in the United States) are more specific and would limit the generalizability of the results. Having a broader population helps to ensure that the experiment can reflect a wider range of behavior associated with diet.
