Analyze the given pair
An Odometer is an instrument specifically designed to measure the total distance traveled by a vehicle.
Apply the relationship to the target
A Thermometer is an instrument specifically designed to measure temperature.
A: Pressure is measured by a Barometer; C: Time is measured by a Clock or Chronometer; D: Heat is a form of energy related to temperature change, but the specific quantity measured by a thermometer is temperature.
B is correct because a Thermometer serves the exact same function of measuring Temperature as an Odometer does for Distance.
In instrument-based analogies, always define the verb 'measures' between the two terms to check for validity; if it fits, you have found the correct category.
