The instrument used to measure wind speed is called :
Anemometer
Anemometer option is correct.
An anemometer measures wind speed (and often wind direction). The classical cup anemometer uses three or four hemispherical cups mounted on a vertical spindle; the rotational rate is proportional to wind velocity. Vane, hot-wire, sonic and pitot-tube variants extend the same principle to different meteorological and industrial contexts.
Standard weather stations (IMD, WMO surface network) log wind speed via anemometers at a reference height of 10 m above ground.
A hydrometer measures the relative density of liquids, a pH meter measures hydrogen-ion activity, and a piezometer measures groundwater pressure head — none of these relate to wind.
