a group with one member from each department

Answer 1

The sample that can give the most valid generalization for the entire company is:

400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees.

This is because it represents a random selection of employees across the entire organization, ensuring that various perspectives and preferences from different departments, positions, and tenures are included in the sample. The other options are biased towards specific groups or characteristics that may not represent the entire employee population.
