Solution

The correct option is C Spring balance
Spring balances or spring scales measure weight (force) by balancing the force due to gravity against the force on a spring. It finally gives the reading of the mass of the object by dividing the measured weight by acceleration due to gravity $(9.8 m / s^{2})$ .
