Which of the following SI units is used to represent volume?

• B. meter (m)
• C. liter (L)
• D. second (s)

Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that volume is a measure of the amount of space an object or substance occupies.
2. Recall that the SI base unit for length is the meter (\(m\)), and volume is derived from length measurements.
3. Recognize that volume is typically expressed in cubic meters (\(m^{3}\)) in the SI system, since volume is length × width × height.
4. Note that the liter (\(L\)) is a common unit for volume but is not an SI base unit; it is accepted for use with the SI and is equivalent to 1 cubic decimeter (\$1\,L = 1\,dm^{3}$).
5. Identify that kilogram (\(kg\)) is a unit of mass and second (\(s\)) is a unit of time, so neither represents volume.
