Expert Solution
Step 1: Explanation and solution

We know the 7 base unit which we used in the measurement is :

  • Kilogram(kg) ----> mass 
  • meter(m) -----> distance
  • candela(cd) ----> luminous intensity
  • Kelvin(K) ----> temperature 
  • second(s) ---> time
  • ampere(A) -----> current
  • mole(n)  ---> amount of substance 

hence, the correct answer will be = second

The other given units ( Celsius , cup , pound , yard ) all are basically derived units.
