Answer:

The answer to your question is c) kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Derived units is when to units are combined to get a new one, For example, combining length and length gives lenght² and then we measured area, this is a derived unit.

a) cm³ this answer is wrong because we are combining length x length x length so we get the units of volume, this is a derived unit.

b) g/mL this answer is wrong because we are combining mass and volume so we can measure density, this units are derived.

c)kg this answer is correct because it measures mass and only that, then it's a fundamental unit.
