Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Earth_Environment/OBOE)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'Observation'?

A. An the concept is an assertion that an entity (e.g., biological organisms, geographic locations, or environmental features, among others) was observed by an observer. An the concept primarily serves to group a set of measurements together into a single "the concept event". Observations are often made within a broader context. The context of an the concept is given by other observations, implying that an observed entity (and specifically each corresponding measurement) contextualizes another observed entity (and its corresponding measurements). For example, an the concept associated with a location may serve as context for an the concept associated with an organism. In this case, the observed characteristic values of the location (such as humidity) are assumed constant for the corresponding measurements of the organism.
B. A the concept defines a reference for comparing or naming entities via a measurement. A the concept can be defined intentionally (e.g., as in the case of units) or extensionally (by listing the values of the the concept, e.g., for color this might be red, blue, yellow, etc).
C. A the concept represents a property of an entity that can be measured (e.g., height, length, or color). A the concept of an entity is observed through a measurement, which further asserts a value of the the concept for the entity. A the concept type (e.g., "height") can be associated with many different entities, whereas an individual the concept (a particular occurrence of the "height" the concept) is associated to exactly one entity.
D. A the concept of an entity is one that is measurable within the physical world. A the concept includes primary and derived physical dimensions (e.g., length, mass, area, density). The measured value assigned to a the concept may be a quantity (a numerical value) or a quality (a category), including both nominal and ordinal categories.
