The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The SI unit of a product is the product of units.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Pressure has the unit \(\text{N/m}^2\) and volume has the unit \(\text{m}^3\).
\[ [PV] = \frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}\times\text{m}^3 = \text{N m} = \text{J} \]
Newton metre is the joule, the unit of energy (and work).

Step 3: Check the options.
Momentum is kg m/s, force is N, and impulse is N s. None equals N m.

Final Answer:
PV has the unit of energy, option (B). \[ \boxed{\text{Energy}} \]
