The correct answer is: End correction
In meter bridge experiment, it is assumed that the resistance of the $L$ shaped plate is negligible, but actually it is not so. The error created due to this is called, end error. To remove this the resistance box and the unknown resistance must be interchanged and then the mean reading must be taken.
