Three students $A, B$ and $C$ were performing an experiment to establish the relation between the weight of a wooden block and the minimum force required to just move it on a horizontal surface. The experimental setup used by each is as shown in the figures given below.
The result obtained by them will be:

  • A
    same for each
  • B
    most accurate for $A$
  • C
    most accurate for $B$
  • D
