Solution

The correct option is C
Foot

FPS stands for Foot, Pound and Second which are the basic units in the FPS system for length, mass and time respectively. Foot is denoted by 'ft'.

1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in).

This is different from the SI system which uses metre, kg and second for measuring length, mass and time respectively.
