Step1: Recall percentage - error formula

The formula for percentage error is $\text{Percentage Error}=\frac{\vert\text{Measured Value}-\text{True Value}\vert}{\text{True Value}}\times100\%$. The measured value is $9.85$ mL and the true value is $10.25$ mL.

A factor that is kept the same amongst all groups in an experiment is a constant. A control group is a group that is not manipulated. An independent variable is the variable that is being manipulated, and a dependent variable is the variable that changes as a result of the independent - variable.

The speed of light is $3.0\times10^{8}$ m/s. The significant figures are the digits that carry meaningful information about the precision of a measurement. In $3.0\times10^{8}$, the significant figures are 2 (the 3 and the 0).

Answer:

C. 3.90%
