d

Explanation:

A graduated cylinder measures volume (to measure 1 - liter water), a beaker holds the water, a hot - plate heats the water, and a thermometer measures the temperature to ensure it reaches 85°C. A balance is not needed as mass is not being measured here, and a test tube is too small to hold 1 liter of water.

Answer:

B. graduated cylinder, beaker, thermometer and hot plate
