What is seismograph?

Seismograph are refers as instruments used to measure the intensity of the earthquake by identifying the epicentre of it.

A pen connected to the weight rests its point on a drum that can revolve. When the  drum gently rotates, the pen draws a straight line on paper that has been tightly wound around it.

A seismograph consists of a heavy weight attached to a frame by a spring or wire. When this spring is replaced by rod, then in this case the seismography will not work.

Therefore, option E the seismograph would not function is the appropriate answer.
