Pick up the correct statement from the following: A. If the applied tension to the tape is more than the standard, the tension correction is positive B. If the applied tension to the tape is less than the standard, the tension correction is negative C. If the temperature during measurement is greater than the standard temperature, the temperature correction is positive D. All the above

If the applied tension to the tape is more than the standard, the tension correction is positive
If the applied tension to the tape is less than the standard, the tension correction is negative
All the above

The correct answer is D. All the above.

The tension correction is the amount that the tape length is adjusted to account for the difference between the applied tension and the standard tension. The temperature correction is the amount that the tape length is adjusted to account for the difference between the temperature during measurement and the standard temperature.

If the applied tension is more than the standard, the tape will be stretched and the tension correction will be positive. If the applied tension is less than the standard, the tape will be compressed and the tension correction will be negative.

If the temperature during measurement is greater than the standard temperature, the tape will expand and the temperature correction will be positive. If the temperature during measurement is less than the standard temperature, the tape will contract and the temperature correction will be negative.

Therefore, the tension correction

and the temperature correction can both be positive or negative, depending on the specific conditions of the measurement.
