B Correct answer
Explanation

Gauss is the CGS unit of magnetic flux density (B field), also commonly called magnetic field in everyday usage. Magnetic field intensity (H) is measured in different units (A/m in SI). The key distinction is that flux density describes the force field's strength, while intensity describes the external field's cause.
