Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the common units of force is Newtons, N

Recall,

Force = ma

where

m is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

If acceleration, a = ms^-2 and mass = kg, then

Force = kgms^-2

Also, joule is the unit of work

recall,

work = force x distance = J

If we divide work by distance(meters), it becomes joule/meter

Thus,

jm^-1 is a unit of force

Thus, the option that is not a unit of force is

B. Js^-1
