Which of the following is a fundamental unit in the SI system? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a fundamental unit in the SI system?
A. Pascal
B. Candela
C. Newton
D. Joule
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The seven fundamental SI units are: metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol), and candela (cd). Candela is the unit of luminous intensity. Newton, joule, and pascal are derived units. Newton = kg·m/s², joule = kg·m²/s², pascal = kg/(m·s²). Hence, candela is a fundamental unit. Exam tip: Remember the acronym ‘MKS A K M C’ for the seven base units.
