Solution

The correct option is B laboratory chemicals
balance pan can be used to measure the weight of glass, ceramics as well as metal object but it cannot be used to measure the weight of laboratory chemicals directly as the chemicals can react with the base of pan. Also, weight measurement of the chemicals used need to be very accurate, of teh order of milligram as well, which cannot be done with balance pan.
