Hi there!

Which of the following is a unit of mass?

Well, lets start with pound.

A pound will not be a unit of mass, it is a unit of weight because it holds a force of gravity on an object.

A millimeter is not a unit of mass, because it is a type of measure.

A newton is a unit of force, not a unit of mass.

Therefore, the only unit of mass will be Kilogram.

Hope this helped!~

the answer is c: kilogram

explanation: The standard International System of Units (SI) unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). The kilogram is 1000 grams (g), first defined in 1795 as one cubic decimeter of water at the melting point of ice.
