Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
OptionC. kilogram− Kilogram is the S.I unit of mass. Hence, this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option A. candela − Candela is the S.I unit of intensity of light and not mass. Hence, this is not the correct option.
Option B. kelvin- Kelvin is the S.I unit of temperature and not mass. Hence, this is not the correct option.
Option D. meter- Meter is the S.I unit of length and not mass. Hence, this is not the correct option.
