The correct option is B Both statements are correct
Precautions to take when using a thermometer:
To avoid parallax error, the mercury level should be along the sight. If we make a parallax error, the reading will invariably be wrong.
Mercury is a highly poisonous chemical. It is not recommended that humans inhale it. It has the potential to harm or even kill the person who consumes it.
