$A$ student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body,initially at rest,in a given time. He uses this data to estimate $g$,the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are $e_1$ and $e_2$ respectively,the percentage error in the estimation of $g$ is:

  • A
    $e_2 - e_1$
  • B
    $e_1 + 2e_2$
  • C
    $e_1 + e_2$
  • D
    $e_1 - 2e_2$
