An ideal standard of measurement of a base quantity has characteristics_______________?

Correct answer: D. Only a and b are correct

  • A. Accessible
  • B. Invariable
  • C. Transportable
  • D. Only a and b are correct

Explanation

An ideal standard should be accessible and invariable, so its value can be obtained conveniently and does not change with time or conditions. “Transportable” is not an essential characteristic of an ideal standard, so students may wrongly select an option including c because they confuse portability with reliability.
