Deandre Rojas · Answer 1

b. precise

Explanation:

Accuracy means how close a measurement is to the true value (in our example the true value is score a goal)

Precision refers how close two or more measurements to each other.

So if the playing soccer hit always the left goal post, he is not accurate (e doesn't score any goals) but he is very precise
