Explanation:

a. When measuring height, we measure from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a straight - up position as it gives the full vertical extent of the body. Diagram 2 shows a person standing straight up to measure height.
b. Diagram 2 best represents how we would measure height because it shows the correct posture of standing straight up to get an accurate measurement.
c. We measure height from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet. Measuring up to the chin would not give the full height of a person as it excludes the part of the head above the chin.

Answer:

a. We stand straight up to measure height to get an accurate vertical measurement of our body.
b. Diagram 2 best represents how we would measure height.
c. We measure from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet. Measuring up to the chin would give an incorrect, shorter value for height as it doesn't account for the part of the head above the chin.
