The basic unit of measurement for resistance is the: A. volt B. ampere C. ohm D. watt E. None of the above

volt
ampere
ohm
watt E. None of the above

The correct answer is C. ohm.

An ohm is the unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Georg Ohm, a German physicist who discovered the law of resistance in 1826. The ohm is defined as the resistance between two points on a conductor when a constant current of one ampere causes a potential difference of one volt between the points.

The other options are incorrect. A volt is the unit of electrical potential difference or electromotive force. An ampere is the unit of electric current. A watt is the unit of power.
