The units of capacitance are
A
Volts/coulomb
B
Coulombs/volt
C
Henry/wb
D
Ohms
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Farad is the unit of capacitance. A capacitor has a capacitance of 1 F when 1 coulomb (C) of electricity changes the potential between the plates by 1 volt (V).

Detailed explanation-2: -Hint:The unit of electric charge is coulomb and unit of potential difference is the volt, so that the capacitance is one coulomb per volt. It is named Farad, symbolized as F.

Detailed explanation-3: -The unit of electrical capacitance is the farad (abbreviated F), named after the English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday. The capacitance C of a capacitor is the ratio of the charge Q stored in the capacitor to the applied dc voltage U: C = Q/U.

Detailed explanation-4: -The unit of capacitance is the farad, (symbol F ).

Detailed explanation-5: -The farad is a unit of capacitance, named after physicist Michael Faraday, used to describe storage of charge in capacitors. The unit for the farad is coulombs per volt (C/V). This describes a case of two oppositely charge plates, each with a coulomb of charge, and a potential difference of one volt between them.
