Solution

The correct option is B reading a wrong value
When a person does not read a thermometer by keeping the level of the mercury along his/her line of sight, there is a high possibility for him/her to observe or read a wrong value. To avoid this error, it is always advisable to record a thermometer's measurements, while keeping the mercury level parallel to the eye level.
