Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
A Laboratory thermometer has no kink; therefore, the level of fluid filled in it will fall rapidly, so the observation will not be correct, while a clinical thermometer has a kink, so the level of mercury remains the same for a few seconds, and hence the reading can be observed.
The correct statement would be that laboratory thermometers cannot be used to measure the temperature of the human body.
