Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The uncertainty will carry the unit of time because it's the time in itself that has error, and not the distance, nor the velocity.

Had it been the uncertainty was to the velocity, then we would say both the unit of the distance and that of the time would have been affected. But as it stands, only that of time will be affected.
