Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
IF the volume of gas is plotted against the reciprocal of pressure, the slope will be given as
Slope = V/1/P = P x V
thus the unit of the slope will be;
P = Force
Area

= Nm-2, = V = M3 = NM.
The unit NM (Newton - Meter) is the practical unit of work, which is the product of force (N) and Displacement (M).
Note: It should be noted that the practical unit of work is Newton-Meter, whereas its S.I unit is Joules, just as energy.

There is an explanation video available below.
