Which quantity is measured in meters?

• A. Time
• B. Mass
• C. Distance
• D. Temperature

Answer: (C)

Meters quantify length—the amount of space between two points. This makes distance the quantity measured in meters, since it describes how far something is from one place to another along a path or straight line. Time is measured in seconds, mass in kilograms, and temperature in Celsius or Kelvin, so they use different units. So distance is the quantity measured in meters.
