Samples simply refer to a dataset that represents the overall population.

The term used to describe the type of survey is that, it is a voluntary response sample.

From the question, we understand that the survey question was posted online to internet users.

This means that:

The respondents are not selected
The respondents are not a population (because not all internet user would respond)

However, users that choose to respond do so at their own will (voluntarily).

Hence, the type of survey is (a) a voluntary response sample
