Correct Option: C

The correct answer is C, Infrared thermometer, because it measures temperature without physically touching the object.

  • Stopwatch: Measures time, which doesn't relate to contact or non-contact.
  • Infrared thermometer: Measures temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted by an object.
  • Weighing scale: Requires direct contact to measure mass.
