Undergraduates who attend a university and live in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population.

For example:

I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents wheter they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents.

In this problem, we have that:

A sample of 2318 undergraduates who attend a university and live in the United States.

So the population in study is the undergraduates who attend a university and live in the United States.

So the correct answer is:

Undergraduates who attend a university and live in the United States.
