What is the base unit for volume of a solid in the metric system?

  • A. cubic meters
  • B. meters cubed
  • C. grams
  • D. centimeters
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'cubic meters' (A) which is the base unit for volume of a solid in the metric system. Volume is measured in cubic units (length width height) for solids. Choice B, 'meters cubed,' is not the standard way to express volume in the metric system. Choices C and D, 'grams' and 'centimeters,' are units of mass and length respectively, not volume.
