Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the relationship between liters and deciliters. Recall that 1 liter (L) is equal to 10 deciliters (dL).
2. Write the conversion factor as an equation: \(1\ \text{L} = 10\ \text{dL}\).
3. Set up the conversion for 2 liters using the conversion factor: \(2\ \text{L} \times \frac{10\ \text{dL}}{1\ \text{L}}\).
4. Multiply the quantity in liters by the conversion factor to cancel liters and convert to deciliters.
5. The result will give the number of deciliters in 2 liters.
