Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Irina measured the weight of her dog as 13 pounds.

If value is 13 she rounded the values in between 12.5 to 13.49 to 13 pounds.

Maximum possible error = 13 - 12.5 = 0.5 pounds.

Maximum possible error = 0.5 pounds.

Option B is the correct answer.
