The correct option is D Laboratory thermometer
A laboratory thermometer is used for measuring the temperature of boiling water. The range of these thermometers is usually from –10°C to 110°C and boiling water also have a temperature of 100°C.
Clinical and digital thermometers are used to measure body temperature.
Hence the temperature of boiling water can be measured using a laboratory thermometer only.
