B 80 students selected at random during lunch

Option B would be the best sample for estimating the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day, as it captures a random selection of students during lunchtime when they are most likely to have their lunches with them. This sample would provide a more accurate representation of the overall student population's lunch habits.
