- D.
  
  Speed square
Correct Answer
D. Speed square

Explanation
A speed square is a tool used in carpentry and woodworking to quickly determine and mark angles. It has a triangular shape with various markings and measurements on its surface. Unlike a ruler or pencil guide, a speed square is specifically designed for measuring and marking angles accurately. A right angle level is a tool used to determine if an object or surface is perfectly perpendicular. While a speed square can also be used to check for right angles, it serves a broader purpose of measuring and marking angles in general. Therefore, the correct answer is speed square.
