A student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate g, the accelration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are `e_(1)` and `e_(2)` respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of g is -

A

`e_(2)-e_(1)`

B

`e_(1)+2e_(2)`

C

`e_(1)+e_(2)`

D

`e_(1)-2e_(2)`
