C Correct answer
Explanation

A manometer is specifically designed to measure pressure, particularly gas pressure. Saccharimeter measures sugar concentration, ammeter measures electric current, and lactometer measures milk density.

AI explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of measuring pressure.

Option A) Saccharimeter - This option is incorrect because a saccharimeter is used to measure the concentration of sugar in a solution, not pressure.

Option B) Ammeter - This option is incorrect because an ammeter is used to measure electric current, not pressure.

Option C) Manometer - This option is correct. A manometer is an instrument used to measure pressure. It consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid (usually mercury or water) and is used to measure the pressure difference between two points, such as in a gas or liquid system.

Option D) Lactometer - This option is incorrect because a lactometer is used to measure the specific gravity or density of milk, not pressure.

The correct answer is C) Manometer. This option is correct because a manometer is specifically designed to measure pressure.
