Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Checking the water meter is not a common trick used by burglars to ensure a house is empty. Burglars might leave a card in the door to see if it's removed, make repeated calls to check if anyone answers, or pose as salespeople to gather information, but checking the water meter does not directly inform them about the occupants' presence.
