A.

Accuracy

B.

Precision

C.

Error

D.

Tolerance

Correct option is A


Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value of a quantity. In measurement and manufacturing, a highly accurate instrument or process ensures that the measured values closely match the actual value, reducing deviation.
For example:
· If a weighing scale shows 99.9 kg for a 100 kg standard weight, it is considered highly accurate.
· If a thermometer reads 37°C for a person with an actual body temperature of 37°C, it is accurate.
