Answer:

D the difference between two pressures​

Step-by-step explanation:

A manometer is a device used to measure the difference between the pressure in a place. Manometer is solely used to determine gas pressure.

  • The device compares gas pressure to atmospheric pressure at any given point.
  • It measures pressure against a fixed reference or with respect to a differential pressure in a place.
  • The column of liquid is the medium it uses to measure the pressure differences.
  • Pressure is the force exerted per unit area.
