SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Pascal

Pressure is defined as force per unit area, \(P=\dfrac{F}{A}\). In SI, force is measured in newtons and area in square metres, so the derived unit is \(\text{N/m}^2\), which is given the special name pascal (Pa).

Newton is the SI unit of force, weber of magnetic flux and henry of inductance. Hence the SI unit of pressure is Pascal.
