Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given value has 2 decimal places, so we need to follow the rule that the final answer should have 2 decimal places. 
- For option A, 14.5 has 1 decimal place, which does not follow the rule.
- For option B, 16 is an integer, which also does not follow the rule.
- For option D, 82 is an integer, which does not have any decimal places, so it does not follow the rule.
- For option E, 14.54 has 2 decimal places, which follows the rule, but there is an extra digit in the given value that is not significant. Therefore, we need to round the value to 14.5, which is the same as option A. 
Therefore, the best choice is option C, which is the closest to the calculated value and follows the rule of significant figures.
