Solution

The correct option is A

m2/N


Explanation for correct option:

In the case of Option A:

  1. Compressibility is the inverse of the bulk modulus of elasticity. The unit of bulk modulus of elasticity is Newton (N) per meter square (m2).
  2. So, the unit of compressibility is Meter square per Newton or m2/N.

Explanation for incorrect options:

  1. The SI unit of compressibility is Meter square per Newton.
  2. Hence, Options B, C, and D are incorrect.

Hence Option A is correct.
