The standard error is defined as the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic. It measures the variability of the statistic’s sampling distribution and reflects how accurately the statistic estimates the population parameter. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it defines the standard error as the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
