Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mole per litre
Molarity is the number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution: M = nsolute ÷ Vsolution(L). Consequently, its unit is mol L⁻¹, written as mole per litre or simply M. Mole per kilogram is the unit of molality, gram per kilogram is a mass ratio, and gram per litre is not the defining unit of molarity.
