cccccccccccc

I think it should be C because otherwise the zero end can shift slightly (in our viewpoint) and measurement will be wrong. So both statements a and b are correct and the answer is C.

No guys. Human eye can't focus simultaneously on two points. To avoid parallax error , eye should be on the point of measurement to be taken.Hence given answer is correct in my view. You may comment.

No as it causes a parallax error. It should be option A. If you don't believe me then try it yourself with a scale and measuring a line segment from different eye positions. You will see that, the measurement varies slightly every time. That's why option A is correct.

it is simple that while measuring, at first you eye must be vertically above 0

Ans 12:

Rithvik Chandra from Greenwood High School, Bangalore
Class : Class 6
this is basic 6th grade physics, you cannot always be measuring 0cm, so as to avoid parallax error your eye must be placed right above the scale, if you do not beleive me ask your science/physics teacher. Hence it is A.
