Answer:

B. air pressure

Explanation:

The definition of pressure is that it is a force applied to an area.

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

Because weight is a force (a force is mass multiplied by acceleration, and weight is the product of the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration of gravity, thus weight is a force), the measurement of the weight of the air over area is the air pressure.

The correct answe is B.
