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 most representative of the entire student population because it involves a random selection of students during lunch, which is when students are likely to have their lunches with them. The other options (first-year students, female students, and Math Club members) are not representative of the overall student body and could introduce bias.
