(A) (B)
Solution:(Correct Answer:D)
Diameter of Earth’s orbit = 3 × 1011 m

Precision refers to the limit of resolution. Precision is
determined by the least count of measuring instrument.
A smaller least count means greater precision.
So, more precise readings have least spread of readings as in
case I.
