The correct Answer is:
To determine which measurement is more accurate among the given options, we can analyze the precision of each measurement based on the decimal places they represent. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Measurements**: - Option A: Measures in whole meters (unit place). - Option B: Measures in tenths of a meter (one-tenth place). - Option C: Measures in hundredths of a meter (one-hundredth place). - Option D: Measures in thousandths of a meter (one-thousandth place). 2. **Understand the Precision**: - The more decimal places a measurement has, the more precise it is. - Option A (whole meters) has the least precision since it only considers whole numbers. - Option B (tenths) is more precise than A because it includes one decimal place. - Option C (hundredths) is more precise than B as it includes two decimal places. - Option D (thousandths) is the most precise as it includes three decimal places. 3. **Compare the Options**: - Based on the decimal places: - A: 0 decimal places - B: 1 decimal place - C: 2 decimal places - D: 3 decimal places - Therefore, Option D, which measures up to the thousandths place, is the most accurate. 4. **Conclusion**: - The measurement that is more accurate is Option D, which measures in thousandths of a meter. ### Final Answer: **Option D is the most accurate measurement.** ---
