Answer
A
The beaker is the only one that can withstand high temperatures.
B
The beaker's wide mouth makes it easier to add and remove test tubes without spilling
C
A beaker fits the whole surface of the hot plate.
D
The beaker can be more accurately read than a volumetric flask.
Explanation
A beaker has a wide opening, so test tubes can be placed into and removed from the heated solution more easily and with less chance of spilling. Beakers are not the only heat-resistant glassware, and their markings are not more accurate than those on a volumetric flask.
