Solution

The correct option is B Stethoscope
  • A stethoscope is a medical instrument used in listening to sounds produced within the body, chiefly in the heart or lungs.
  • It was invented by the French physician R.T.H. Laënnec, who in 1819 described the use of a perforated wooden cylinder to transmit sounds from the patient's chest to the physician's ear.
