The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

A rawinsonde is an airborne platform used to measure wind velocity, along with other atmospheric parameters:
- It is a balloon-borne instrument that tracks wind speed and direction by monitoring its drift.
- A radiosonde measures temperature and humidity but not wind velocity directly.
