Question

Which of the following instruments can be used both for AC and DC?

The correct answer is

Moving-iron type

An 'analog type' simply means the instrument displays the measurement using a needle moving over a scale, as opposed to a digital display. From the analysis, the Moving-iron type instrument is the one that can be used for both AC and DC measurements directly, without needing additional rectifier circuits (unlike PMMC for AC measurement).
