    You need to modify AJAX success() function:

    success:function(data)
{ 
    $('#unit1').text(data);   // fill #unit1 with PHP response data
}

    And in PHP use implode() for creating a string:

    $row = [];
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
     $row[] = $row['units'];
}
echo isset($_POST['units']) && $_POST['units'] ? rtrim(implode(', ',$row),', ') : '';  

    $(()=>{

    $('#subject1').change(function(){

        var subject=$(this).val();

        $.ajax({
          url:"fetch_unit.php",
          method:"post",
          data:{units:subject}, 
          success:function(data)
          {
              $('#unit1').html('');
              $('#unit1').text(data);
          }
        });

    });
});
    <select name="subject" id="subject1" class="form-control m-1">
             <option value="">Select Subject</option>
             <option value="Subject">Subject</option>
</select>

<div id='unit1' class="form-control m-1"></div>

    In PHP you can use $_POST['units'] variable, which contains #subject1 value
