all 624 female employees in the company

Answer 1

The most valid generalization would come from:

400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees.

This option provides a representative sample of the entire workforce, ensuring that various departments, roles, and demographics within the company are included, thus allowing for a more accurate reflection of the preferences of the entire employee base. The other options are biased either by limiting the sample to certain groups or by not being random.
