• A. it is very long
• B. it has high temperature range
• C. the liquid used is different
• D. it does not have a kink

Answer 1

The correct option is D

it does not have a kink

We cannot conveniently measure our body temperature using a laboratory thermometer mainly because it does not have a kink. The absence of a kink results in falling of the mercury/alcohol level as soon as thermometer is taken out to take the reading.
