Explanation:

In statistics, the population is the entire group of individuals or objects that we are interested in studying. Here, the student government is interested in the opinion of all students in the school regarding the new dress code. Surveying every 15th student who enters the school is a sampling method. The population is not just the students who enter the school (as some might be in the school but not entering at that moment, like those already in classrooms) or students except absentees (absentees are still part of the school's student body we might want to know about in a full - population sense), and not the students leaving. It's all students of the school.

Answer:

C. All students of the school
