Ms. Sue
I don't think so. Only two of your answer choices have an h.

One of them should be g/mm that's for sure.

sooo one is g/mm would the other be g/cm ??
Ms. Sue
A gram is a unit of mass (weight).
Millimeters and centimeters are units of length. I've never seen rainfall reported in these units.

Ms. Sue
I suggest you ask your teacher to explain them to you.

in/h ---> inches per hour
cm/h ---> cm per hour
these are the only two that make sense.
If you are in the US, it would be in/h
elsewhere it would be cm/h
cm/h ---> cm per hour
these are the only two that make sense.
