    Option C is the correct answer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since a random number generator is used to select a single number between 1 and 28, inclusively;

    For a fair decision to be made during the process, the number of persons in the set must be a divisor of 28.

    Let's list the divisors of 28:

    The divisors of 28 are {1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28}

    The only option that contains one of the divisors is option C which is 7.
