Answer 1

The option that can give the most valid generalization is:

400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees.

This sample includes a diverse representation of the entire employee population, which helps ensure that the preferences identified can be generalized to the overall workforce. In contrast, the other options are either biased towards specific groups or not representative of the entire employee base.
