Solution

The correct option is A Weight
The spring balance is used to measure the weight of an object. The force on a spring is directly proportional to the distance by which the spring is extended. When an object is attached to the hook of a spring balance, it exerts a force equal to its own weight, which extends the spring by a certain distance.
The distances can be calibrated to directly give the weight of the body.
