Non-sampling risk refers to errors that can occur in the data collection process that are not related to the size of the sample. Choices A, B, and D (human mistakes, inappropriate audit procedures, and reliance on erroneous information) are examples of non-sampling risks because they can occur regardless of the sample size. Choice C (inappropriate sample size) is related to sampling risk, which is the risk that the sample is not representative of the population.
