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 option is the best choice because it includes a diverse group of students from different grades and backgrounds who are present during lunch, which is the relevant time for observing lunch habits. The other options are either too specific or don't represent the entire student population.
