The sampling method that does not lead to probability samples among the options provided is convenience sampling.

Here's why:

1. Convenience Sampling: This is a non-probability sampling method where the samples are selected because of their convenient accessibility and proximity to the researcher. It does not provide a good representation of the population, hence it does not lead to probability samples.

2. Stratified Sampling: This is a probability sampling method where the population is divided into smaller groups or strata based on shared characteristics. A sample is then randomly selected from each stratum.

3. Cluster Sampling: This is also a probability sampling method where the entire population is divided into groups, or clusters, and a random sample of these clusters are selected. All observations in the selected clusters are included in the sample.

4. Systematic Sampling: This is another probability sampling method where every nth member of the population is selected to be a part of the sample.

So, among these, convenience sampling is the one that does not lead to probability samples.
