Answer:

Option A and Option C

Explanation:

If we know that we have to cut a peice of paper 12 centemiters long, that means a 15% error would be cutting out one of the following lengths....

12 - 12(0.15) = 10.2 cm

or

12 + 12(0.15) = 13.8cm

So from this, we see that the answers are Option A and Option C
