Answer 2

First of all,

Derived unit is a unit which involves two or more fundamental units.

Now coming to density,

Density= Mass/Volume

Unit of density = unit of mass/unit of volume

Unit of density= kg/m^3

As you can see, the unit of density is made up of unit of mass and volume, that is a fundamental unit and another derived unit.
