    B.

    Square meter

    C.

    D.

    Cubic meter per second

    Correct option is D

    The Correct Answer is: (D) Cubic meter per second
    Explanation:
    The unit of discharge is cubic meter per second (m³/s). Discharge refers to the flow rate of a fluid, typically water, through a given cross-section over time. In the context of rivers, streams, or pipelines, it indicates the volume of water passing a specific point per unit of time.
    Information Booster:
    • It represents the volume of fluid flowing per second. For example, in rivers, it quantifies how much water flows over a specific section in one second.

    • This unit is crucial in hydrology, environmental engineering, and fluid dynamics for managing water resources.

    Additional Information:

    • Meter (m): A unit of length.

    • Square meter (m²): A unit of area, but used to measure the cross-sectional area of a flow.

    • Cubic meter (m³): A unit of volume, but discharge is concerned with the volume per time.
