question 1 of 10
what is the metric unit of weight?
tons
pounds
meters
grams

Explanation:

To determine the metric unit of weight, we analyze each option:

• Tons: While a unit of mass/weight, "tons" (metric ton is 1000 kg) is a larger unit, but "grams" is a base metric unit for weight/mass. However, among the options, we check the standard metric units.
• Pounds: This is an imperial (US customary) unit, not metric.
• Meters: This is a metric unit for length, not weight.
• Grams: Grams (g) are a base metric unit for measuring mass/weight in the metric system.

Answer:

D. Grams
