Verified by Toppr
Correct option is D)
"A leaking tap" is the answer because we cannot estimate when will the drop fall.
where as
⇒ simple pendulum shows time by its to and fro motion.
⇒ in olden days the time is estimated by the shadow of an object
⇒ blinking of eyes is rarely seen which blinks by time unless by reflex actions
