A. It acknowledges the correct amount of decimal points and could be a reasonable measurement.

B is incorrect because we don’t have measurements down to the hundredth place on the ruler.

C is incorrect because it doesn’t acknowledge the amount of decimal places available, only stating it as a whole number.

D is incorrect for the same reason as C.
