Sampling error refers to errors that occur in the sample selection process, resulting in a sample that is not a true representation of the population. Selecting transactions that are not representative of the population is an example of sampling error. A is not an example of sampling error because it refers to a mistake in the selection process, while sampling error refers to problems with the sample itself. B is also not an example of sampling error because it refers to errors in the application of the sampling methodology, rather than errors in the sample selection process. D is incorrect because A and B are not examples of sampling error.
