A researcher is working with a special population of adolescents with a particular type of

eating disorder. He reads that the average adolescent with this particular disorder is female, and from a family system with a particular set of demographics. As he recruits the 50 adolescents he needs for this study, he discontinues recruitment for adolescents with the above profile, and only takes on new participants that fit other profiles of adolescents with this disorder. Thus, his sample is roughly the same in terms of demographics as what one would see at the national level. This form of sampling is known as: A) convenience sampling. B) simple random sampling. C) quota sampling. D) special sampling.
