  • A.ECG signal amplification
  • B.Optical imaging
  • C.Ultrasonic signal generation
  • D.Strain gauge-based pressure measurement

Answer: D

A Wheatstone bridge is used for strain gauge-based pressure measurement.

A strain gauge changes its resistance by only a tiny fraction when strained. Placed in a Wheatstone bridge, often with four active gauges on a diaphragm, that small change unbalances the bridge and gives a voltage proportional to pressure, with temperature effects largely cancelled. Disposable invasive blood pressure transducers work this way.

ECG amplification uses instrumentation amplifiers, not a bridge. Optical imaging uses photodetectors, and ultrasound is generated by driving piezoelectric crystals.
