Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the units involved: 'cc' stands for cubic centimeters, which is a unit of volume commonly used in medical contexts.
Recall the equivalence between cubic centimeters and milliliters: 1 cc is exactly equal to 1 mL.
Set up the conversion based on this equivalence: since 1 cc = 1 mL, multiply the given volume in cc by this conversion factor.
Calculate the volume in milliliters by multiplying 10 cc by 1 mL/cc, which gives 10 mL.
Confirm that the volume 10 cc corresponds to 10 mL, and compare this with the answer choices to select the correct one.
