Solution

The correct option is B False
Area is the amount of surface a two-dimensional shape can cover, measured in square units.
The SI unit of area is the square meter $m^{2}$ , which is a derived unit.
These are the most common measurements of area (from smallest to largest):
3.1. Square Millimeter, $m m^{2}$
3.2. Square Centimeter, $c m^{2}$
3.3. Square Meter, $m^{2}$
3.4. Hectare,
3.5. Square Kilometer, $k m^{2}$
Hence, the given statement is false as it has $m^{3}$ which is not a unit of area.
