Answer:

100 mL Graduated cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

The instrument would give the greatest precision is 100 mL Graduated cylinder.

Because it has the smallest diameter and it is graduated every 1.0 mL. so, its error percent is the lowest.

Beaker and Erlenmeyer flask have a greater diameter and their grauation is every 10.0 mL. So, their error % is larger.
