AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) charted record of atmospheric pressure over time. A microbarograph is a precision instrument that provides a continuous graphic record or chart of atmospheric pressure over time. This allows for the monitoring and analysis of changes in barometric pressure, which is an important factor in weather forecasting and maritime navigation.
