Answer:

Option D, Katie wants to measure the length of a bird's wing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meter Stick is a device that is used to measure the length of any object. Since in option A volume is to be measured, thus meter stick will be on no use in this case. Hence, option D is correct.

Meter scale is usually of size 100 meter (maximum), thus distance between two cities cannot be measured by meter stick. hence, option B is also incorrect.

Option C is also incorrect as measurement of leaked gas will be in litre which is a unit of volume. Hence meter stick cannot be used here.

option D is correct.
