Solution

The correct option is B

milk


A lactometer is a little glass instrument that tests the purity of milk based on density or buoyancy and works on the principle of gravity. Adulteration of milk can be checked by using a lactometer. If the milk sample is pure, then the lactometer floats on it and if it is adulterated or impure, then the lactometer sinks.
