In the round-the-world experiment described in problem R4T.2, what is the minimum accuracy over the experiment's duration that the clocks must have to clearly display the relativistic effect?
A) Both clocks must be accurate to the nearest $10 \mathrm{~ms}$.
B) Both clocks must be accurate to the nearest $10 \mu \mathrm{s}$.
C) Both clocks must be accurate to the nearest $10 \mathrm{~ns}$.
D) Both clocks must be accurate to the nearest 10 ps.

The relativistic effect in the round-the-world experiment is very small, so clocks need to be accurate to the nearest 10 ns to detect the time difference caused by relativistic effects.
