scattered by particles in solution, and turbidimetry
measures the decrease in incident-light intensity
C. Nephelometry measures the amount of light emitted by
particles in solution, and turbidimetry measures the
amount of light reflected by particles in solution

and Turbidimetry measures the amount of light scattered -
answer: B
