(A) Echo method or reflection method is used to measure the distance of a mountain.
$(b)$ Cesium atomic clock is the most accurate clock for the measurement of time.
$(c)$ To round off $15.753$ to three significant figures,we look at the fourth digit,which is $5$. Since the digit following the third significant figure $(7)$ is $5$ followed by non-zero digits $(3)$,we round up the third digit. Thus,$15.753$ becomes $15.8$.
