Solution

The correct option is D pyrometer
Pyrometer, which detects the wavelength of thermal radiation, emitted from the hot body and maps that to a temperature value, is used for measuring temperature of gas. As, we cannot make contact with the gas, pyrometer, which measures temperature from distance, is used.
