Solution

The correct option is D Anemometer
Air moves from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure. And this moving air is called wind. An Anemometer is a device used to measure the speed of the wind. The unit of measurement is kilometre per hour. Another device called the “wind vane” tells the direction of the wind.
