  13. Pick up the incorrect statement from the following :

  14. A.

    while measuring a distance with a tape of length 100.005 m, the distance to be increasing by 0.005 m for each tape length

    B.

    an increase in temperature causes a tape to increase in length and the measured distance is too large

    C.

    the straight distance between end points of a suspended tape is reduced by an amount called the sag correction

    D.
