Options:

Laboratory Thermometer

Clinical Thermometer

Digital Thermometer

All of these

Correct Answer:

Clinical Thermometer

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. Clinical Thermometer.

A kink is present near the bulb in a Clinical Thermometer. The kink serves as a constriction that prevents the mercury from flowing back into the bulb after temperature measurement. This design feature allows users to read the maximum temperature reached, even after removing the thermometer from the measured object or body. The kink remains in place until manually reset, ensuring accurate temperature readings.
