Position error (pressure error) in pitot-static instruments is caused by:

Manufacturing defects

Temperature effects on the instruments

The location of the static ports on the fuselage affecting local static pressure measurement

Correct

Altitude above 35,000 ft

Explanation

Static ports may not sense true free-stream static pressure due to airflow disturbance around the fuselage, causing position error.
