Answer:

A. Move the buret clamp to a ring stand with a larger base.

Explanation:

The ring stands are used to hold burettes, light in weight to avoid loss of stability, that is why it is necessary to change the size of the ring stand so that it can support the buret that we are going to use. It is not recommended to balance it with the hand since it would give us an inaccurate result in the titration.
