The correct option is (b) 3M Monitor Mark

Easy explanation: 3M Monitor Mark is based on dye diffusion. A  visco-elastic material migrates into a diffusely light reflective porous matrix at a temperature dependent rate. This causes a progressive change of the light transmissivity of the porous matrix & provides a visual response. Response of indicator is the blue dye ester diffusing along a wick. The useful range of temperature & response life of the TTI are determined by type of ester & the concentration at the origin.
