The scenario you provided is an example of (B) accuracy.
Accuracy refers to how closely a measurement or statement reflects the true value or intention. In this case, Prof Vos is accurately meeting the criteria set by the university's policy, as he will submit his research within the required timeframe.
Precision, on the other hand, involves the consistency of measurements or statements, which isn't the focus of this scenario.
