The answer is B. Scientist can compare and share data together

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of a standard measurement system implies scientists all around the world and in all contexts measure variables such as distance, weight, volume, energy, among others using the same units, instead of using units that are only known in a specific context. This has multiple advantages including that the results and data gathered can be shared and compared, in this way, there is more information about the phenomena studied and also about the similarities or differences of certain events in different parts of the world. According to this, the option that describes one benefit of using a standard measurement system is option B.
