The metric system is an alternative system of measurement used in most countries, as well as in the United States. The metric system is based on joining one of a series of prefixes, including kilo-, hecto-, deka-, deci-, centi-, and milli-, with a base unit of measurement, such as meter, liter, or gram.

No, generally it is fit good length.
No quantity in building construction is measured in weight terms, except for reinforcement, but that is measured in tons.
So, the correct answer is D.

Metre for length.
Kilogram for weight.
Litre for capacity.
I think all this are right for any measurement of building work. Like fencing, Steel-work, water tank etc.

I think litre for capacity is the correct answer as length is measured in foot or inches, weight is measured in quintal etc in building construction.

I think the correct answer is a meter for length. If anyone has an idea about the litre for capacity then explain in detail.

Here the answer asked in metric unit so the answer is D. Length is a single unit. We will get these from drawing.

Liter for capacity? I think it should be meter for length. Can you explain it please?

Length = mm.
Area = sq m.
Volume = cum.
Weight = Metric Ton.
Capacity = Litre.
Area = sq m.
Volume = cum.
Weight = Metric Ton.
Capacity = Litre.

@Pankaj as per your approach we also take m^3 for capacity measurement.

I think the given answer is correct because length is in running meter.
