"What is the purpose of the yard? As you guys said it is also used for measurement, but what we measure in that?".
A yard is used to measure distance and comes from the UK. It is almost the same length as a metre which has replaced it as a measure of distance.
1 mile = 1670 yards.
In the US the word yard is used instead of back garden. Parneeth is correct as it is also used in business to describe the land on which business is carried out. E. G. Scrap yard where waste metal is collected.
Both answers - B and C are correct.
B because A C and D measure distance, and B measures weight.
C because A B and D are imperial (UK origin) measurements and C is metric (French origin).

It's a terrible question because classification by either scale or context are both different within the set, so there are two answers that meet the provided criteria.

A yard is a unit of measurement.
I think the correct choice should have been centimeter. Centimeter is in the metric system. The other options are not.

Hey the other 3 inch, cm, yard can be converted into feet, mm, cm, square foot but ounce can be converted into only to gram, ml, litre.

I believe that option C. is a valid answer, because, A., B., & D. are all standard measurment. C. is a metric measurement.

I think 'yard' means an area of land in which a particular type of work is done, often one from which goods are sold.

What is the purpose of the yard?
As you guys said it is also used for measurement, but what we measure in that?

I agree with @Mahantesh distance is measured in inch, yard, and cm but weight is measured in ounce.

As Per my opinion Inch, ounce, Yard connected to each other. Then the answer should be Option- C.
