Correct answer: (B) Distributed capacitance of a coil.
Explanation
A Q meter uses a resonant circuit to characterize an inductive coil. Measurements of resonance at different frequencies and tuning capacitances allow its distributed or self-capacitance to be estimated. Among these choices that is its standard application, B. Transformer turns ratio and piezoelectric-sensor quality are not the intended measurements.
