If staff is not vertical, the reading will be too great. If staff is normal to the line of sight the value will be minimum or accurate. It will not be maximum. The intercept of staff increases when it is tilted away from norman and decreases or gets minimum when moved towards normal.

Staff intercept is the difference in reading between top and bottom cross hairs. If the staff is tilted forward or backward from normal, the staff intercept will increase. It is minimum when staff is truly vertical.

Reading will increase in both cases, if tilted away or towards. Because it's minimum when staff held normal. So you can't go below the minimum. So answer D is also correct but B is more logical.

Answer B is right. Think again and visualise a laser beam as a line of sight and a objects going away from normal. The reading will increase as it starts from zero at bottom and max st top.

Staff intercept is differ between length of top and bottom crosshair in the instrument (say S1 and S3). Google "tacheometry" and just see the image you'll get everything.

If the staff is tilted away from the instrument intercept will be more n if staff is tilted towards the instrument the staff intercept will be minimum.

Since, staff is held inclined, cross hairs will intercept more readings than that of a vertically held staff in vertical direction.

Option D is incorrect because the intercept rather decreases if you tilt the staff towards making it normal to the line of sight.

Staff intercept: is the difference between the reading measured at top cross hair and bottom cross hair of telescope.
