Solution

The correct option is A

Accurate


In this case the archer hits the shots very close to the apple but hits different spots. Here he is not precise but is accurate on his shots.

Accuracy by definition is the agreement of a particular value to the true value of the result in any measurement. . If the average value of different measurements is close to the true value, the measurement is said to be accurate. In simpler terms we can say that a measurement is said to be accurate if it is as close to real value as possible.
