A shrunk scale is required where
Answer: B
Correct answer: the drawing sheet or survey chain has altered in length

Paper contracts with age and changes in humidity, and a survey chain stretches with use, so lengths taken from the one or recorded with the other are no longer what they purport to be. The shrunk scale builds the correction into the graduations.
