The correct answer is (B) Galvanometer.

A galvanometer is an electrical instrument used for detecting the presence of electric current in a circuit and also for measuring its direction and magnitude (although ammeters are typically used for precise magnitude measurement).

A refractometer is used to measure the refractive index of a substance. A viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. A diffractometer is used to study the diffraction of radiation (like X-rays or electrons) by a material, often to determine its crystal structure.
