randomly selected people from a list of all young adults registered to the library.

Targeting Young Adults: $A$ is the better choice because it specifically targets young adults, who are the focus of the book club.
Library Registration Limitation: $B$ includes all people registered to the library, which might not accurately represent the young adult demographic.
Ensuring Feedback from Young Adults: Since we want to know what young adults think, we gotta make sure we're asking them, not just anyone.
