Explanation by: Admin

A sphygmomanometer is the instrument used to measure blood pressure.

  • It usually consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (mercury or aneroid), and sometimes a bulb to inflate the cuff.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) ECG (Electrocardiogram): Measures electrical activity of the heart, not blood pressure.
  • (B) Stethoscope: Used to listen to heart and lung sounds but does not measure blood pressure on its own.
  • (D) Arm band: Part of the sphygmomanometer but not the instrument itself.

Final Answer: (C) Sphygmomanometer
