Best answer
Correct choice is (d) Velocity test

Best explanation: The viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow. The oil should be viscous enough to maintain a fluid film between the bearing surfaces. In order to measure viscosity of lubricating oil, an instrument called Saybolt viscosimeter is used.
