Which of the following describes a valid simple random sampling procedure?

A

Place all of the bouncy balls for the day in a large container and mix them up. Draw $10\text{ bouncy balls}$ out of the container.

Place all of the solid color bouncy balls in one container and all of the swirly bouncy balls in another container. Mix the bouncy balls in each container and draw $10\text{ bouncy balls}$ out of each.

C

As the bouncy balls come off the production lines, randomly choose one of the first $50\text{ bouncy balls}$. Then choose every $50^\text{th}\text{ bouncy ball}$ after that one until the end of the day.

D

Place all of the bouncy balls from production line A into a large container. Do the same for production lines B and C. Mix up the bouncy balls in each container and draw $10\text{ bouncy balls}$ out of each.
