1. Abel Flash Apparatus: For flash point below 50°C Abel flash point Apparatus is used.
2. Pensky Martens Apparatus: For flashpoint between 50°C to 120°C "Pensky Martens Apparatus" is used.
3. Cleveland Open Cup: For flash point above 120°C Cleveland Open Cup is used, it is open cup type flash point apparatus.
Abel and Pensky Martens Apparatus are of closed-cup type flash point apparatus.

If here is any other substance instead of gasoline then option A would be the correct answer but because the question is about gasoline so option D is correct because Flash point of gasoline is not possible because it is very flammable.

Abels apparatus is the correct answer. Pensky-Marten's is used above 50 degrees. Abel is manually controlled flame apparatus i.e. open cup type, whereas pensky is closed cup apparatus.

Gasoline has a very low flash point (below -40°C), and its flash point is generally measured using a Tag Closed Tester (TCT) , not the Abel or Pensky-Martens apparatus.

The answer is A, because abel's apparatus used calculate < 50 temperature and you can check in below link:

I think, it's measured by Abel's apparatus & not. Then, by which method is it measure?

I think Abel apparatus is the right answer, because it is used for less than 50°C.

Flash point of gasoline is not included in standard specification (EN228 etc).
