Solution

The correct option is C $N k g^{- 1}$
Gravitational intensity is nothing but the acceleration due to gravity $= g = F_{g} / m$

Now we know that the SI unit of $F_{g}$ is $N e w t o n (N)$ and that of $m$ is $k g$
So SI unit of $g = N / k g = N k g^{- 1}$ or $m / s^{2}$

Hence correct answer is option $C$
