Solution
The correct option is A sphygmomanometer
The force that blood exerts against the wall of a blood vessel is known as blood pressure. Blood pressure is measured with an instrument called sphygmomanometer. It consists of an inflatable rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the upper arm and is connected to an apparatus that records blood pressure.
