Answer: Option B.

Precise but inaccurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is precise because the measurement taken with well incremated tool reflect how close it is to the actual value i.e it has the quality of been exact but diet to the missing of 4.0 centimeter because a hungry beaver made a snack of it earlier that day the measurements will be INACCURATE because it does not conform with the result of the standard or correct value to be gotten.
