Solution

The correct option is C Measuring tape
The tailor uses measuring tape to take measurements of Sonu as measuring tape can be bent around her shoulders or waist. Elastic tape can not be used by tailor as it can stretch easily while taking measurements. Metre scale and metre rod can not be used by tailor as these scales can not bent while taking measurements.
