A psychrometer measures relative humidity by comparing the temperature to the level of moisture in the air. Specifically, it uses two thermometers: one with a dry bulb and one with a wet bulb. The difference in temperatures between the two bulbs is used to calculate the relative humidity based on how much moisture is evaporating from the wet bulb. Therefore, the correct response is:

It compares the temperature to the level of moisture in the air.
