Answer: D.gallons

Explanation:

Kilogram is a unit of mass

Now, Pounds, Tons and Ounces are also units of mass.

But Gallons is a unit of volume, where 1 gal = 3.785 L

Then you never can represent an amount of mass using units for volume, which means that gallons is incommensurabe with kilograms.

the correct option is D
