The correct answer is: It compares the temperature in wet air and dry air.

A psychrometer typically consists of two thermometers: a dry bulb thermometer that measures the air temperature and a wet bulb thermometer that has a moistened wick around its bulb. The difference in temperatures between the two thermometers is used to calculate the relative humidity of the air.
