Answer
A
Sample 1 is biased.
B
Sample 2 is biased.
C
Both samples are biased.
D
Neither sample is biased.

Explanation

Sample 1 surveys every third person on each first-period class roster, so it includes students from different classes using a consistent selection method. Sample 2 surveys only students in Mr. Sanchez’s five honors math classes, which does not represent the whole student population because it leaves out students in other classes. Therefore, Sample 2 is biased.
