D) None of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sampling risk can be quantified when probabilistic selection techniques are used as these techniques are based on probability theory, which provides a framework for measuring and quantifying sampling error. Non-probabilistic selection techniques do not have a defined sampling distribution and therefore cannot be quantified. Option A is incorrect as sampling risk can be quantified. Option B is incorrect as it is not possible to quantify sampling risk when non-probabilistic selection techniques are used. Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer.
