Solution

The correct option is B rain gauge

The rain gauge is a meteorological instrument used to calculate the precipitation depth (usually in mm) that occurs over a unit area (usually one square metre) and thus to measure the amount of rainfall. The equivalent of one millimetre of measured precipitation is one litre of precipitation per square metre.

The correct answer is B .
