Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Precision is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.This is how much close are the series of measurements of a same object to each other.

For example : If we measure volume of water in flask which comes out to be 2 mL and again on measuring for the number of times we get same value of 2 mL. Hence, this measurement will said to be precise.

A scale measures weight to the nearest 0.5 lb.So, from the given options the measurement which is appropriate to the given precision scale is 140.5 lbs.
