The false statement is **C**.

**Explanation:**
- **A** is true as the population encompasses all items of interest.
- **B** is true because populations can be infinite (e.g., all possible future observations).
- **C** is false because a sample, by definition, is a subset of the population. Even with replacement, the sample size may technically exceed the population count, but such a "sample" would include duplicates and is not conceptually larger in unique terms. In standard statistical practice, the sample is considered a distinct subset, making this statement invalid.
- **D** correctly describes a simple random sample where each individual has an equal probability of selection.

It is not possible for the sample to be larger than the population. The population is the entire set of items being studied and the sample is a subset of the population.

Explanation: In theory, the sample cannot be larger than the population. The population represents the entire set of items of interest, and a sample is a subset of that population. Therefore, it is not possible for the sample to exceed the size of the population. The other statements are true: the population is indeed the total collection of all items of interest (A), it can be infinite (B), and a random sample is one where each item from the population has an equal chance of being selected (D).
