Solution

The correct option is C Alcohol
The bulbs on either side of the U-shaped tube of the Maximum-Minimum thermometer contain alcohol. The expansion and contraction of alcohol with respect to the mercury filled in the U-shaped tube gives rise to the values of a region's maximum and minimum temperature.
