The Scoville scale is used to measure the spiciness or heat of chili peppers, based on the concentration of a chemical compound called capsaicin. It was developed by a pharmacist named Wilbur Scoville in 1912 and is still used today to rank peppers from mild to extremely hot. Therefore, the correct answer is C) to measure pepper heat.
