Best answer
The correct answer is (d) Calorimeter

The explanation is: Calorimeter measures the amount of heat and not the temperature of the coil. The temperature of a coil is mainly measured by thermometer. Resistance of coil increase with an increase in temperature of coil so we can measure temperature using this method. Another method is the formation of thermocouple inside coil due to high temperature at one end and low temperature at other ends.
