I gave my students this multiple choice question: Students are preparing to determine the boiling points of several aqueous solutions. In addition to proper lab attire, what devices or instruments will the students need to conduct this experiment?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- hot plate, beaker, masking tape
- thermometer, hot plate, beaker
- matches, beaker, thermometer
- balance, hot plate, thermometer

Could you tell me which one is correct?
