A group with one member from each department, all employees who have worked in the company for 5 years or more, all 624 female employees in the company, or 400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees? Which one is correct?

The most valid generalization would come from 400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees. This sample would provide a diverse representation of the entire company and would be least biased compared to the other samples.
