Answer:

25 mL graduated cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

A graduated cylinder is a laboratory instrument used to measure liquid volume.One has to make sure they know the volume they are measuring, and use the accurate graduated cylinder for that job. It is always advised to use the smallest cylinder so as to minimize error.

Out of the given calibrated glass wares, the 25 mL graduated cylinder can most accurately measure the volume to the nearest tenths of the millimeter. This is because the graduation of the glassware will be to the 1 mL allowing accurate measurement of milliliter.
