By which of the following, the difference in elevation between two points can be calculated by taking a difference between the two readings and no correction for the inclination of the line of sight is necessary? Correct Answer Balancing

If the back sight and foresight distances are balanced, the difference in elevation between two points can be directly calculated by taking a difference of two readings and no correction for the inclination of the line of sight is necessary.
