(NONE) False. $A$ dimensionally incorrect equation must be physically incorrect.
$(b)$ False. $1 \ AU = 1.496 \times 10^{11} \ m$. The value $9.46 \times 10^{15} \ m$ represents $1 \ \text{light year}$.
$(c)$ False. The dimensional formula of force is $[M^1 L^1 T^{-2}]$, while the dimensional formula of stress (force per unit area) is $[M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}]$.
$(d)$ False. The dimensions of a physical quantity are independent of the system of units used; only the numerical value changes.
