Explanation: To determine the range of expected readings, we need to calculate the total measurement error based on the multimeter's specifications. 1. **Calculate the percentage error:** The meter has an accuracy of 0.15% of the reading. 0.15% of 5 V = 0.0015 * 5 V = 0.0075 V. 2. **Calculate the "counts" error:** A 4-digit multimeter on a 6-volt scale means its resolution for that scale is typically 0.001 V (e.g., it displays 5.000 V). "2 counts" means an additional error of two units of this least significant digit. 2 counts = 2 * 0.001 V = 0.002 V. 3. **Calculate the total absolute error:** Add the percentage error and the counts error. Total error = 0.0075 V + 0.002 V = 0.0095 V. 4. **Determine the range:** Subtract and add the total error to the nominal 5 V reading. Lower bound: 5 V - 0.0095 V = 4.9905 V Upper bound: 5 V + 0.0095 V = 5.0095 V Rounding these values to two decimal places (as typical for such a reading or options), the expected range is approximately 4.99 V to 5.01 V. This corresponds to option A.
