Answer 1

(d) It was designed in France in 1791.
No way , that sounds advantageous when doing science problems !

Answer 2

option: D (It was designed in france in 1791) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

" Advantage, benefit, profit all mean something that is of use or value. Advantage is anything that places one in an improved position, especially in coping with competition or difficulties" .

Because the metric system is a decimal system of weights and measures it is easy to convert between units (e.g. from millimetres to metres, or grams to kilograms) simply by multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc.

            Hence option (a),(b) and (c) are correct.

Whereas the statement in option (d) just tells about the history of the metric system and is not a type of advantage.

Hence option (d) is not an advantage of using the metric system.
