Answers.Text: I think you'd need to write a little extension. Take a look at https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/hooks/hook_civicrm_buildForm/#example where it sets a default. The field you want is `pledge_frequency_unit`.

  The recurring configuration is present on contribution page under amount tab. There you can select the units that you want user to select when doing donation or payment.
  
  The units supported by Civi are Year, Month, Week and Day
