C - Tylers sample is not representative because he only asks students in the gym and only 10 students.

Asking a limited number of students from a specific location (the gym) may not capture the variety of interests and activities of all students in the school. A larger and more diverse sample would be needed to get a better understanding of what students like to do after school.
