Solution

The correct option is D neither hot nor wet
While weighting an object using a beam balance, it should be ensured that the object is neither wet nor hot.
Meanwhile, let us look at all the precautions in using a beam balance:
1. The weight should be replaced into the weight box after weighing.
2. Wet and hot objects should not be kept on the plan.
3. When near the actual weight ,weights should be tried in decreasing order.
4. The beam should be lowered before adding or removing weights from the pan.
5. The lever should be turned gently ,in order to prevent the knife edges from chipping.
