The correct option is (a) reciprocal of compressibility modulus

The explanation: The compressibility modulus is a measure of the relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure change. The coefficient of volume change is the reciprocal of compressibility modulus and has units in the form of m^2/kN.
