Answer:

A.this description needs a unit describing the system of measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit is required to understand the physical quantity being measured. 72 degrees creates a confusion about the reference scale. It could be degree Celsius or degree Fahrenheit.

It is known that 0°C to 32°F. So, the reference changes and hence, it is important to describe the unit. Option A is correct.
