The correct option is (b) m^2/s

The explanation: The unit of coefficient of Solubility coefficient is m^2/s. Solubility coefficient is a measure of how much permeate solubilises through the plastic polymer. It depends on degree of interaction between polar water molecule and polymer molecular structure.
