Solution

The correct option is B systematic error
Systematic error is the error due to resolution of a measuring instrument.
Systematic errors are errors in measurement due to the errors in the instruments or data handling system. For example zero mark of the instrument is not proper, so quantities measured from that instruments will have error.

In the determination of Young’s modulus $(Y = \frac{4 M L g}{π l d^{2}})$ by using Searle’s method, a wire of length L=2m and diameter d=0.5mm is used. For a load M=2.5kg, an extension l=0.25mm in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities d and l are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They have the same pitch of 0.5mm. The number of divisions on their circular scale is 100. The contributions to the maximum probable error of the Y measurement is:
