The measured weight is (2 + 3/4) lb, so the correct option is A.

How to read the measure?

First, we can see that the needle is between the 2lb and 3lb mark, so we know that we have a measure between these two values.

Now, let's count the number of small lines between the needle and the 2lb mark. There are 12 marks (the 12th is below the needle). Then the measure will be:

(2 + 12/16) lb.

Now we want to simplify the fraction. If we divide both numerator and denominator by 4, we get:

12/16 = 3/4

Then the weight is:

(2 + 3/4) lb

Then the correct option is A.
