Answer:

B. Odometer

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B is correct

A frame of reference is a framework where we measure the changes in position of an object be it displacement, Velocity or acceleration over a period of time as observed by an observer. So, all we need is an observer, a coordinate system ( for directional reference) and a timer.

Here, an odometer is not a part of the frame of reference, because irrespective of the frame, the odometer will always measure the same distance.
