• A. cannot measure temperatures below 0°C
• B. is generally used to measure the temperature of the human body
• C. can measure a temperature of 100°C
• D. has a kink near its bulb

Answer 1

The correct option is C can measure a temperature of 100°C

Laboratory thermometers are designed to measure the temperatures of objects around us and not for measuring human body temperature.
The range of a laboratory thermometer is -10°C to 110°C. Hence, it can measure readings even below 0°C till -10°C. It can also measure the temperature of 100°C.
Clinical thermometers have a kink near the bulb.
