Solution

The correct option is C 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. It is a simple device that can also be made at home. Adulteration of milk can be checked 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.
