Good answer for A!

What are the two quantities that should be measured to find the rate

the quantities would be the volume, and the time

agent0smith · Answer

mm/day is the units. The quantities are volume (in mm) and time (days)

agent0smith · Answer

Yes. But rate would be volume/time not distance/time.

agent0smith · Answer

Very good.
