the type of error explains this discrepancy is nonsampling

Answer:

The answer is: b) non sampling error

Step-by-step explanation:

A non sampling error is an error which takes place during data collection, causing the data to differ from the true values.

This error is caused by factors that are not related to sample selection. Such systemic or random non factors results in the discrepant data values that do not reflect the true value for the population.

So, here the error made is a non sampling error which is not giving the exact population.
