A tacheometer is correct. Telemetry is a different device used in remote sensing. Tachemetry is no word in dictionary.

The Answer should be A.
Shankar yadav said:   8 years ago
I think, Option A is the right answer.

Tacheometry is also known as tachymetry or telemetry.
Harish said:   8 years ago
A tachymeter or tacheometer is a type of theodolite used for rapid measurements and determines, electronically or electro-optically, the distance to target. The principles of action are similar to those of rangefinders.

Given answer is correct.

Tacheometry or tachemetry or telemetry is a branch of angular surveying in which the horizontal and vertical distances of points are obtained.

Tacheometry.

Tacheometry (or Tachemetry or Telemetry) is a branch of angular surveying in which the horizontal and vertical distances of points are obtained by optical means as opposed to the ordinary slower process of measurements by tape or chain. The method is very rapid and convenient.

This is a gross error. The answer is A (Tacheometry).

Agree @Minesh Rathore.

Telementry is defined as tele=remote and metry= measurement.

So, I think Option A is correct.
