The best sample for estimating the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day is:
**A 80 students selected at random during lunch.**
This option provides a random sample that is likely to be representative of the entire student population in terms of lunch habits, as it captures students during the time they are making their lunch decisions. The other options are more limited in scope and may not represent the diversity of the student body as a whole.
