Answer 1

Answer:

C. Weight

Quintal is a unit of weight or mass, equivalent to 100 kilograms in most countries. It is commonly used for grain prices in wholesale markets in Ethiopia, Eritrea and India, where 1 quintal = 100 kg (220 lb). In British English, it referred to the hundredweight; in American English, it formerly referred to an uncommon measurement of 100 kg (220 lb).
