What is the top cross-section of the first order of accuracy?

The idea tested is choosing the largest cross-section that still satisfies the first-order accuracy constraint. In problems like this, first-order accuracy means the discretization must stay within a certain size limit so that the leading error term remains proportional to the step size. Among the given options, the cross-section that fits within that allowable limit is 30 by 30. The 35 by 35 and 40 by 40 options exceed the maximum dimension allowed by the accuracy constraint, so they would not meet the requirement. The 25 by 25 cross-section is smaller but not the top cross-section that still adheres to the constraint. Therefore, 30 by 30 is the largest cross-section that preserves the required first-order accuracy.
