Candela is used to measure
A
Angle
B
Solid Angle
C
Temperature
D
Intensity of flame
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The candela is used to measure the visual intensity of light sources, like light bulbs or the bulbs in torches. It is the only SI base unit based on human perception.

Detailed explanation-2: -candela (cd), unit of luminous intensity in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 × 1012 hertz and has a radiant intensity in that same direction of 1/683 watt per steradian (unit solid angle).

Detailed explanation-3: -“The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 1012 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.”

Detailed explanation-4: -The candela (symbol: cd) is the SI base unit of luminous intensity; that is, power emitted by a light source in a particular direction, weighted by the luminosity function. A common candle emits light with a luminous intensity of roughly 1 cd.
