Correct Answer: rain gauge


Solution : The correct option is a rain gauge .

A rain gauge is a meteorological device that records and quantifies the total amount of precipitation, or rainfall, over a given time frame. While rain gauges come in a variety of forms, they are all used to measure the amount of water that falls as rain. The amount of rainfall in millimetres or inches is then calculated by measuring the depth of the collected water in the tube.
