What does the prefix 'centi' mean?

  • A. 0.1
  • B. 0.01
  • C. 0.001
  • D. 1
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The prefix 'centi' means 0.01, which is one-hundredth of the base unit. For example, 1 centimeter is equal to 0.01 meters. Choice A (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 'deci,' which means one-tenth. Choice C (0.001) is incorrect as it represents 'milli,' which means one-thousandth. Choice D (1) is incorrect as it is not a valid interpretation of the prefix 'centi.' Therefore, the correct answer is B.
