Solution

The correct option is D Density
The quality of milk can be determined by a lactometer. It works on the principle of density. It is an instrument which measures the amount of water added to the milk hence, milk adulteration can be detected. When water is added to milk, the density of the milk decreases and this is detected using lactometer. Thus the correct answer is option B.
