Answer: B

Earthquakes are measured by a seismograph.

A seismograph (seismometer) detects and records the ground waves an earthquake produces; the record is a seismogram, from which the magnitude (for example on the Richter or moment magnitude scale) and the epicentre are worked out.

A mammograph is a medical X-ray machine for breast imaging. A speedometer shows a vehicle's speed, and an anemometer measures wind speed.
