In autoranging mode, the meter automatically adjusts the range of measurements based on the value being measured. Therefore, it is important to interpret the reading prefix and convert it to base units if necessary (Choice A) in order to properly understand the measurement. Additionally, noting the prefix indicated by the meter (Choice B) can provide important context for the magnitude of the measurement. Therefore, both choices A and B are necessary for the proper interpretation of meter readings in autoranging mode.
