The data are false. The data are recorded incorrectly. The data cannot be reproduced.

Answer 1

The data are recorded incorrectly. :- best describes this error in data collection

Answer 2

Since she has recorded the data in centimeters instead of millimeters, the option that suits the most is the data are recoded incorrectly.

We can say this because the data has been recorded but is in the wrong units of measurements. This can be corrected by changing the units and the data will be good to use.
