    Correct Answer
    A. Exact number, must have a unit and a number
    Explanation
    Measurement refers to the process of quantifying or determining the size, amount, or degree of something. It involves obtaining an exact numerical value, which must be accompanied by a unit of measurement. This ensures that the measurement is standardized and can be understood universally. Without a unit and a number, a measurement would lack specificity and would not provide meaningful information. Therefore, an exact number with a unit is a fundamental requirement for accurate and reliable measurements.
