Psychrometer
Hydrometer
Xanthometer
None of the above

Explanation

Answer: A - A psychrometer measures the content of water vapor, or relative humidity, in the atmosphere for use in HVAC condensate collection volume calculations. It consists of both a wet-bulb thermometer and a dry-bulb thermometer, from which the difference in readings allows determination of humidity. Neither a hydrometer nor a xanthometer has any role in measuring humidity.
