What is the term for another name for a polariscope?

Colmascope
Antireflection
34mm
Geometric center

The correct answer is: Colmascope

A is the correct answer because a polariscope is also called a colmascope. This term refers to an optical tool used to analyze the stress and strain of transparent or translucent materials. B, C, and D are incorrect because they have different definitions and do not refer to an alternate term for a polariscope. Antireflection refers to reducing the reflection of light on a surface, 34mm is a measurement unit, and geometric center refers to the center point of an object's geometry. Therefore, these options are not related to the term for a polariscope.
