Option 1 : A pressure sensor records pth. However, for most of the practical engineering cases, the system at the intermediate states of a process gets enough opportunity to attain equilibrium. Thus, both pth and pm are equivalent in these cases.

If a thermodynamic system goes through a process such that the intermediate steps attain equilibrium at each time interval then we can assume both pm and pth to be equal and if the process is fast and time involved is very less then intermediate steps are not in equilibrium and thus pm and pth are different.
