B)Random nonsampling errors produce estimates that vary from the true value.

Nonrandom nonsampling errors are more troublesome than random nonsampling errors because they are systematic and produce biased estimates that consistently deviate from the true value. Random nonsampling errors, on the other hand, are caused by chance and tend to cancel each other out in large samples, producing estimates that are generally unbiased but may have more variability than the true value. Therefore, statement A is false. The other statements are true.
