Solution

The correct option is C Derived units
A system of units has a set of fundamental quantities. These quantities are selected so that all the other physical quantities can be derived from them.
The units for the derived quantities are called derived units. They are obtained by taking the product and / or ratios of fundamental units. For example, unit of speed is m/s.
