The corresponding value that is the least precise would be A. As it only contains 1 value that is a significant digit, 1.

Precision is inversely proportional to the largeness of the measurement of mass. This is because there are scales that can precisely or accurately measure smaller masses compared to larger masses. Decimals also help in determining precision. in this case, the least precise is A.
