Solution

The correct option is B protractor
Protractor is an instrument used to measure angles. It has 180 divisions.

To measure with a protractor, the base line of protractor (at 0) is kept above one of the lines of the angle. The other line then coincides with one of the divisions of the protractor, which gives the measure of the angle.
