The pitot-static system of instruments uses the principle of air pressure gradient.
-> These pressures can be measured either from the static port or the pitot tube.
-> The pitot pressure is a measure of ram air pressure under ideal conditions, which is equal to stagnation pressure.
-> The static pressure is generally measured using the static ports on the side of the fuselage.

The pitot static tube does not measure the **static pressure** directly.
It measures total pressure and can be used to calculate the dynamic pressure, but it does not provide a direct measurement of static pressure by itself.

Pitot tube is a device used to measure the local or point velocity by measuring the difference between impact (dynamic) pressure and static pressure.
So, here option -B should be the right answer.

Measurement of a velocity is a common use of pitot tubes. The pitot tube measures the difference between stagnation pressure and static pressure. A value for the fluid density is also needed.

Pitot tubes can be used to measure fluid flow velocity by measuring static and dynamic pressure difference.

Pitot tube measure fluid velocity at a point.
It's also used to measure the velocities of submarines.

Pitot tube is used only measuring the velocity of fluid.

But it measures both static an impact pressure.
