Accuracy of a metrebridge is maximum when the null point is obtained at the midpoint of the bridge wire. This is because

A

the error due to non uniformity of diameter of the wire is minimum in that case.

B

the error due to the end resistances is minimum.

C

the error due to heating up of wire is minimum.

D
