The temperatures of two bodies measured by a thermometer are $t_1 = 20^{\circ}C \pm 0.5^{\circ}C$ and $t_2 = 50^{\circ}C \pm 0.5^{\circ}C$. The temperature difference and the error therein are:

  • A
    $30^{\circ}C \pm 1^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $70^{\circ}C \pm 0.5^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $30^{\circ}C \pm 0.5^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $70^{\circ}C \pm 1^{\circ}C$
