Solution

The correct option is B

Should be vertically above the point from where the measurement is to be taken


Precautions while measuring the length:

  1. Our eye should be vertically above the point, where the measurement is to be taken.
  2. For proper measurement, Keep the ruler exactly along the length, for the measurement.
  3. The eye must be vertically above the point where the measurement is to be taken to avoid parallax error.

Hence, the correct option: B)Should be vertically above the point from where the measurement is to be taken
