Answer:

d. accuracy

Explanation:

In measurements, accuracy is a term that is used to describe the closeness of a measured value to the actual or true value. While precision describes how close different measured values are to each other.

Thus when a measured value is accurate, it implies that the value is very close or almost equal to the true value. The correct answer to the question is is option D.
