A
over
B
in
C
with
D
on
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The preposition "on" is the most suitable choice in this context because when conducting research, we often say it is carried out "on" a sample population. This usage conveys the idea that the research is performed concerning or with regard to a specific group of individuals, which is the sample population. So, the complete sentence implies that the research was conducted with a focus on or involving a particular sample population.
