    For a large diameter pipe like 3.5 meters, the Venturimeter is typically the best choice because:

    It causes relatively low head loss.

    It can handle large flow rates accurately.

    It is more economical and convenient for large pipes compared to orificemeters or rotameters.

    Pitot tubes measure velocity at a point and are not practical for large pipes.

    Correct answer:
    B. Venturimeter
