Answer:

b. Pascal

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure is defined as the ratio between a force and the surface area on which the force is applied:


p=(F)/(A)

where F is the force and A is the area.

The force is measured in Newtons (N), while the area is measured in squared meters (
m^2), so the Pascal (Pa), which is the units of measure of the pressure, is defined as:


[Pa]=([N])/([m^2])
