Solution

The correct option is D human body
A laboratory thermometer cannot be used to measure the human body temperature. Since laboratory thermometer do not have kink, so as soon as we take out the bulb of the laboratory thermometer from our mouth, the level of mercury in its tube will start falling quickly. This will give a wrong value of the body temperature.
