The option that would most likely lead to a biased sample is "selecting female customers who purchase an item." This is because it limits the sample to only female customers, which may not represent the entire customer population accurately. To obtain an unbiased sample, it is important to select customers randomly or systematically without any specific characteristics or criteria.
