B. Accuracy is if it's right or not. Precision is how many decimal places it goes out to. So it is precise but not accurate.

Answer:

B.the scale is precise but not accurate

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is :

B.the scale is precise but not accurate

If the scale would have been accurate, then it would have gotten the correct weight.

But it is showing a reasonable difference.

But at the same time, it is showing the reading upto thousandths place, so it means the scale is precise.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
