Clamp-on Ammeter
A measuring instrument that can measure the current flow in a conductor without requiring any physical contact or disconnecting the circuit.
Ayrton
Refers to Hertha Ayrton, a British engineer, mathematician, physicist, and inventor, known for her work on electric arcs and ripples in sand and water.
D'Arsonval
Refers to a type of galvanometer used for detecting and measuring small electric currents by the mechanical movement it produces through a magnetic field.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Clamp-on ammeters are designed to measure current without needing to make direct contact with the circuit or interrupt the circuit. They work by clamping around one of the conductors (lines) supplying power, allowing for easy and safe current measurements.
