The mean time period of second's pendulum is $2.00s$ and mean absolute error in the time period is $0.05s$. To express maximum estimate of error, the time period should be written as

  • A

    $(2.00 \pm 0.01) s$

  • B

    $(2.00 \pm 0.025) s$

  • C

    $(2.00 \pm 0.05) s$

  • D

    $(2.00 \pm 0.10) s$
