B Correct answer
Explanation

The acceleration due to gravity g in the FPS (Foot-Pound-Second) system is approximately 32.17 ft/s². This is equivalent to 9.81 m/s² in the SI (metric) system. The FPS system uses feet and seconds as base units, so the numerical value differs from the more familiar 9.81.
