Answer :

Answer:

A. kgm/second/second or Newton

Explanation:

Force is measured in Newton's or (N)

AL2006

The only thing in that messy list of choices that can be a unit of force is the Newton.

But this is not to say that choice-A is entirely correct ... "kgm/second/second" is pretty meaningless, and is NOT the same thing as a Newton.

1 Newton = 1 kgm-meter/second/second

choice-B . . . . . unit of speed

choice-C . . . . . rate of change of mass; no name

choice-D . . . . . unit of acceleration
