The sample that can give the most valid generalization is:
**400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees.**
This option provides a larger and random sample that is likely to represent the entire population of employees, making it more likely to yield unbiased and generalizable results regarding the team-building activity preferences. In contrast, the other options are either too specific or limited in scope, which may not accurately reflect the preferences of the entire employee population.
