(b) 760 mm Hg

Explanation:

Look at the units...
(a) Pa - Pa is the SI unit of Pascals, a unit of Pressure
(b) mm Hg - Hg is the elemental symbol for Mercury
(c) atm - Atm stands for Atmosphere and is a unit of Pressure
(d) kPa- stands for kilo Pascal and is also a unit of Pressure

(b)Mercury is the only element and not a unit of pressure, therefore it is not equivalent to the remaining three
