Which unit listed is a unit of weight?

• A. Meters
• B. Liters
• C. Pounds
• D. Seconds

Answer: (C)

Weight is how heavy something is, and in everyday measurement we use pounds to describe that heaviness. Pounds measure a force from gravity acting on an object, which is different from length (meters), volume (liters), or time (seconds). So the unit that indicates weight here is pounds.
