Indicate which of the options about the "true value of a magnitude" is false:(A). it cannot be known, since it is not possible to make a measurement without error(B). it can be estimated, but always in terms of probability(C). with a probability of 95% we can consider that it is within an interval with a center at the mean and a width four times the standard deviation of the mean(D). it will be more limited the more measurements are made
