The correct answer is: Dimensional formula: M 1 L - 1 T - 1
Coefficient of viscosity η=FxAv

F = tangential Force,

A = Area, x = distance between the layers,

v = velocity.

Dimensional Formula of Force =M1L1T-2

Dimensional Formula of Area =M0L2T0

Dimensional Formula of distance =M0L1T0

Dimensional Formula of velocity =M0L1T-1

Putting these values in above equation we get,

η=M1L1T-2M0L1T0M0L2T0M0L1T-1=M1L-1T-1
