Dolce · Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be Option C (General cohort).

Explanation:

A bunch of individuals with a quantitative variable (including such maturity or organization leaders) specific to something like a cohort of premedical graduates in a longitudinal survey. A general cohort of samples seems to be designed for specific experiences including such genetic components including certain vitamin utilization, oral contraceptive utilization, as well as habits like cigarettes excessive alcohol consumption.

The other three choices are not related to the given circumstances. So that Option C seems to be the right answer.
