Which of the following sets lists base SI units in a way that measures distance, mass, and time?

• A. Ampere (electric current), Candela (luminous intensity), Mole (amount of substance)
• B. Meter (distance), Kilogram (mass), Second (time)
• C. Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin
• D. Liter, Newton, Joule

Answer: (B)

What this question tests is knowing which units are the base SI units for distance, mass, and time. The base SI units for these quantities are meter for distance, kilogram for mass, and second for time. That means the set that includes meter, kilogram, and second directly represents the fundamental units used to measure these three quantities, so it is the correct choice.

The other options mix units that measure different quantities (electric current, luminous intensity, and amount of substance), temperature scales that are not all SI base units, or use derived units (like liter for volume, and Newton or Joule for force and energy) rather than the fundamental ones.
