When using anthropometric measurements to assess body composition, potential sources of error include all of the following EXCEPT: a. Inaccurate location of anatomical landmarks b. Use of anthropometric measuring tools that are not properly calibrated or marked. c. Improper measurement technique d. Selection of the wrong anthropometric equation. e. Failure to measure skinfolds on both the right and left sides of the body.

Units and Measurement
The measured value of a physical quantity measured with the help of an instrument, doesn't match with the calculated value of physical quantity using formula. The best reason for this is (a) due to instrumental error (b) due to random error (c) due to experimenter's carelessness (d) due to limitation on the value of least count of instrument
