Solution

The correct option is A Needle
Pressure = $\frac{F o r c e}{A r e a}$ ,
It means lesser the area more the pressure.
Now, if we apply the same force by needle and by finger, more pressure will be applied on the inflated balloon in case of the needle as the needle has less area of contact than the finger.
