According to the uncertainty principle, a particle such as an electron
A) has a precise position and a precise velocity, but the observer is unable to determine them.
B) is entirely made of sausage.
C) does not have a precise position or a precise velocity.
D) must have uncertainties in position and velocity that remain smaller than a particular prescribed value.
E) can have arbitrarily small simultaneous uncertainties in both position and velocity, although neither uncertainty can be zero.
