Solution
A population is the entire collection of units sharing the defining characteristic, so A is correct, and identifying that characteristic is central to defining the population, so C is correct.
A complete census is accurate, only costly, so B is wrong.
Inference runs from the sample to the population, not the reverse, so D is wrong.
