Solution

The most appropriate sampling method for this scenario is c. Stratified random sampling. This method involves dividing the population into distinct groups (in this case, the different departments in the corporation), then randomly selecting samples from each group in proportion to the size of the group in the population. This ensures that each department is proportionally represented in the sample.
