Solution

The correct option is B False
Pressure is calculated as $P = \frac{F o r c e}{A r e a}$
Density $ρ = \frac{M a s s}{V o l u m e}$

Velocity $V = \frac{D i s p l a c e m e n t}{t i m e}$

So, pressure, density and velocity are derived from other quantities and so, these are termed as derived quantities , not fundamental quantities.
Hence, the given statement is false.
