Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A meter measures distance. We don't say the cube is x meters long, just as we don't say we weigh x amount. Instead we use units like centimeters for volume while we use pounds or kilograms for weight. In terms of time, I have no idea how the unit meters would be useful for that. Example for time units include: seconds, minutes, hours, and days. However, we do say this ruler is x amount of meters. As such, length and distance is the only logical answer.
