Solution

The correct option is A Farad
If charge $q$ is given to a conductor and due to this its potential increases by $V$ , then capacitance of conductor is:
$C = q / V = c o u l o m b / v o l t$
1 coulomb/volt is called $f a r a d (F)$ ,which is the S.I. unit of capacitance. A conductor's capacitance is 1 farad, if electric charge of 1 coulomb increases the potential of conductor through 1 volt.
