O signal change that the instrument
can detect reliably
(d) a measure of the systematic
O
errors​

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) the smallest amount of input signal change that the instrument can detect reliably

Answer 2

Resolution is the option (c) smallest amount of input  signal change that the instrument  can detect reliably

Explanation:

• The resolution is one of the general parameters in every measuring instrument.
• The resolution of a measuring instrument is the slightest adjustment in a quantity that gives a change in the reading that can be seen as the result.
• A thermometer has a resolution of $1.0$°C when it has a marking at every $1.0$°C.
• It can also be defined as the image quality determined by the Rayleigh criterion and diffraction effect.
• Generally, it is the least distance between two peaks and that can be seen clearly without any noise or being blurred.
