Both systematic and random errors are types of errors in measurements or observations. Systematic error affects the accuracy of measurements and is consistent and repeatable, affecting all measurements in the same way. It is not correct to say it should be extrapolated over the entire population, as it suggests spreading the error rather than correcting or accounting for it. Random error affects the precision of measurements, varies unpredictably, and does not consistently skew data in one direction. It is not something that can be extrapolated over a defined subset of the population, as its nature is inherently unpredictable and varies from one measurement to another. Therefore, both statements A and B are incorrect, making D the correct choice.
