Which consequence results when gravitational mass and inertial mass inequivalence arises in a torsion balance?

A)Spurious torque introduces measurement errors
B)Increased sensitivity improves dark matter searches
C)Perfect balancing eliminates measurement baseline drift
D)Reduced atmospheric damping slows oscillation period

💡 Explanation

Spurious torque introduces measurement errors because any inequivalence violates the principle of equivalence, therefore affecting the instrument's accuracy, rather than improving sensitivity because the fundamental assumption is violated.
