Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The population size is everybody running the race. It does not include people watching the race and it is not confined to just the 20 people the researcher talked to.

If it doesn't limit itself to the 20 people, then the 5 and 12 and 3 people are also too limiting.

I’m pretty sure the answer is A
