Correct answer: C
-
Check statement (A):
- "Weight of a substance is the amount of matter present in it."
- The amount of matter present in a substance is called mass, not weight.
- Weight is the force with which gravity pulls an object.
- Hence, (A) is false.
-
Check statement (B):
- "Mass is the force exerted by gravity on an object."
- This is actually the definition of weight, not mass.
- Hence, (B) is false.
-
Check statement (C):
- "Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance."
- This is the correct definition of volume.
- Hence, (C) is true.
-
Check statement (D):
- In the Celsius scale, temperatures below are possible.
- In the Kelvin scale used in classical thermodynamics, temperature cannot be negative because is absolute zero.
- Hence, (D) is true.
-
Check statement (E):
- Precision means the closeness of repeated measurements of the same quantity to one another.
- This is correct.
- Hence, (E) is true.
-
Collect the correct statements:
- True statements are (C), (D), and (E) only.
-
Match with the options:
- Option C = (C), (D) and (E) Only
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.
