Solution

The correct option is D Clinical thermometer
In a clinical thermometer, a bent in the path of mercury, called kink, is used to prevent the mercury from falling back into its bulb.
There is a kink in the given thermometer, so it is a clinical thermometer. Laboratory and kitchen thermometers do not have a kink in them. On the other hand, digital thermometers do not even have mercury in them.
