Some pieces of laboratory glassware are designed to measure volume. The burets are really precise. The pipettes and the graduted cylinders are not as precise as a buret, but we can measure a determined volume with a certain precision.

Other pieces of laboratory glassware are designed to hold or contain liquids, but they are not designed to measure the volume of them. This is the case of a beaker.

Answer: the one that is expected to have the highest percent error is the beaker.
