The sensitivity of a thermometer is
A.
All of the above
B.
how quickly a temperature change can be detected
C.
the difference between the maximum and the minimum temperature
D.
the smallest temperature change that can be detected or measured
Correct answer is D
The sensitivity of a thermometer is defined as the smallest temperature change that can be detected or measured, NOT how quickly that temperature change can be detected.
In contrast, the difference between the maximum and the minimum temperature is the range of a thermometer
