The correct answer is

Speed of wind

Anemometers are specifically designed to measure wind speed. They work by using rotating cups or vanes that spin faster in stronger winds. The rotation speed is then converted into a wind speed measurement. Options 1, 3, and 4 describe measurements taken by other instruments; light speed is measured with lasers, water current speed with flow meters, and satellite speed with tracking systems.
