Solution

The correct option is B

Laboratory thermometer


Laboratory thermometers are used to measure temperatures or temperature changes with a high degree of precision. In Celsius scale, the temperature range of laboratory thermometers is from 10C to 110C. The boiling point of water lies within the range of a laboratory thermometer.
The range of clinical thermometer is between 35C to 42C, therefore it cannot be used to measure boiling point of water.
The barometer is an instrument used to measure air pressure.
