Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer is the first option or "C/kg." C/kg is a ratio for specific charge. C for the charge of the electron, kg for the mass of the electron. To find the specific charge we divide the two, which usually involves scientific notations and simplifying.

Example:

(C)/(kg)

(3.4*10^3C)/(2.7*10^5kg)

Hope this helps.
