Solution
The correct option is B parallax
Parallax error arises when the reading is taken from a random angle. It is a human error in which the error is due to the perceived shift of the reading when recorded from an undesired direction. In order to avoid this error, the readings should be made by positioning the eyes perpendicularly above the markings.
