Given
The boiling point of water measured four times are 110.01 °C, 110.02 °C, 109.99 °C and 110.01 °C.
The actual boiling point of water = 100.00 °C
The measured boiling points are very far from the actual boiling point of water, So we consider it to be not accurate.
The four boiling points of water measured are very close to each other, So we say that they are precise.
So the measured four boiling points are Precise but not accurate. (Option b is correct).
