Solution

The correct option is C Measuring tape
The various types of devices that are commonly used to measure length are metre scale and measuring tape. If the object is circular in shape, then we have to use a measuring tape to measure its length. The girth of a tree can be measured only by using a measuring tape because it can bend around the tree. On the other hand, a plastic ruler, metre scale, and metre rod are made of metal and cannot bend at all.
