Sampling risk occurs when there is a difference between the adjusted sample estimate of a parameter and its true value in the population. In this case, the golf professional is interested in determining whether a golf ball can be hit over 300 yards. Option C shows an adjusted estimate of 310 yards, which is above the threshold of 300 yards, but the actual distance is only 295 yards. This indicates that the adjusted estimate of 310 yards may not accurately represent the true distance that a golf ball can be hit. Therefore, option C represents sampling risk. Options A and B are not examples of sampling risk as the adjusted estimate is within a reasonable range of the actual distance. Option D is incorrect as not all options represent sampling risk.
