a. The temperature will make no difference in your measurement.

b. You measure a larger area on a cold day.

c. You measure a larger area on a hot day.

You measure a larger area on a cold day.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The universal standard temperature for dimensional estimations is institutionalized in ISO 1 as 20 degrees Celsius (°C). The announcement above is from the US tolerating standard, and shows that all drawings that have measurement set apart on them, naturally, allude the to measurements at 20°C.

The temperature influences the volume as well as the speed of the substance response. Now and again, lower temperatures produce results that are excessively low; higher temperatures, interestingly, may deliver results that are excessively high.
