Explanation

Linearity refers to how closely the output of an instrument follows a straight line when plotted against the input. It is quantified as the ratio of the maximum deviation in displacement to the full-scale deflection of the device. Other options like steady-state sensitivity and dynamic error relate to different instrument characteristics.
