Solution

The correct option is D both a and b
Systematic error (also called systematic bias) is consistent, repeatable error associated with faulty equipment or a flawed experiment design. These errors are usually caused by measuring instruments that are incorrectly calibrated or are used incorrectly.
Random error (also called unsystematic error, system noise or random variation) has no pattern. One minute your readings might be too small. The next they might be too large.
There is nothing known as frequent error in the catergorization of errors
