Meter stick would be the most appropriate tool to use in which of the following investigations? a. mikah wants to measure the volume of water in a beaker. b. danielle wants to measure the distance between two large cities. c. jayla wants to measure the amount of gas released during a chemical reaction. d. katie wants to measure the length of a bird's wing.

Option D, Katie wants to measure the length of a bird's wing.

Explanation:

Meter Stick is a device that is used to measure the length of any object. Since in option A volume is to be measured, thus meter stick will be on no use in this case. Hence, option D is correct.

Meter scale is usually of size 100 meter (maximum), thus distance between two cities cannot be measured by meter stick. hence, option B is also incorrect.

Option C is also incorrect as measurement of leaked gas will be in litre which is a unit of volume. Hence meter stick cannot be used here.

option D is correct.
