Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the relationship between milliliters (mL) and liters (L). The liter is the base unit for volume in the metric system, and milliliters are a subunit.
2. Recall the conversion factor: 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (mL). This means that to convert from milliliters to liters, you divide the number of milliliters by 1000.
3. Set up the conversion for 1000 mL to liters using the formula: \(\text{Volume in L} = \frac{\text{Volume in mL}}{1000}\).
4. Substitute the given value into the formula: \(\text{Volume in L} = \frac{1000}{1000}\).
5. Simplify the expression to find the volume in liters, which will give you the metric equivalent of 1000 mL.
