Random sampling error refers to the fact that a random sample of a population may not perfectly represent the entire population. This type of error is expected in any type of sampling, and can often be minimized by increasing the sample size or using more advanced sampling techniques. The other options listed (nonsampling error, problem definition error, hypothesis error, and precision error) do not specifically refer to the error caused by imperfect representation of the population in a selected sample.
