In this scenario, the units of mass can be found using the formula F = m*a, where F is force, a is acceleration, and m is mass. If we substitute the given fundamental units, we get N = (m/t^2)*m, which simplifies to m^2/t^2. Solving for m, we get m = N*t^2. Substitute the given fundamental units and simplify to get the units of mass as N*s^2/m. Therefore, the best choice is D.
