The unit of weight is the
A
Gram
B
Kilogram
C
Pound
D
Newton
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the SI unit of weight can be measured in kg⋅m/s2 (kilograms times metres per second squared) which is equal to a newton (N). Since weight is the force extended by the gravitational force on a mass it is represented by the formula W = m*g, where weight can be kg * m/s2 which is equal to N.

Detailed explanation-2: -The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is Newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon.

Detailed explanation-3: -One newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared. In plain English, 1 newton of force is the force required to accelerate an object with a mass of 1 kilogram 1 meter per second per second.
