Understand the relationship between kilometers and meters: 1 kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the metric system, and it is larger than a meter (m).
Recall the metric prefix 'kilo-' means 1000 times the base unit. Therefore, 1 kilometer equals 1000 meters.
Express this relationship mathematically as: \$1\ \text{km} = 1000\ \text{m}$.
Check the options given and identify which corresponds to 1000 meters.
Conclude that the correct answer is the option representing 1000 meters, confirming the conversion factor.
