Solution

The correct option is B Rain gauge
Rainfall is measured by a precise instrument called rain gauze. It determines the depth of precipitation that occurs over a unit area. Thus, it measures rainfall.
Most standard rain gauges have a wide funnel leading into the cylinder and are calibrated so that one-tenth of an inch of rain measures one inch when it collects inside.

So the correct answer is option B.
