• B. list the measurements taken in a table.
• C. take the average and reduce the possibility of an error.
• D. get more than one answer.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

take the average and reduce the possibility of an error.

Explanation for correct answer: Option(C)

1. Scientists use a method by which they conclude many observations.
2. By performing the same experiment multiple times, we ensure that the results are reliable
3. The results are compared by analyzing the data.
4. This repetition of data reduces the possibility of error.

Hence, scientists repeat measurements they take during experiments is so that they can take the average and reduce the possibility of an error.
