Which instrument is commonly used to measure atmospheric pressure ?
Barometer
Barometer option is correct.
Atmospheric pressure is measured with a barometer. Torricelli's mercury barometer (1643) uses the height of a mercury column supported by atmospheric pressure (standard sea-level pressure ~760 mm Hg = 1013.25 hPa); the aneroid barometer uses the deflection of an evacuated metal capsule; and modern digital sensors employ piezoresistive or capacitive transducers.
A tachometer measures rotational speed, a thermometer measures temperature, and an anemometer measures wind speed — none of these record air pressure.
