How did the introduction of uniform weights and measures help nation-building?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It brought uniformity in trade and administration
The governing concept is standardisation by the modern state. When different regions used different measures, buying, selling, taxation and administration became confusing. Uniform weights and measures created common rules and connected local markets within one national economic system. Therefore option A is correct. The other choices describe neither economic integration nor the practical effect of standardisation.
