Answer:
Option B, mL (milliliter)
Explanation:
1 cubic centimeter (cc) in a syringe is the equivalent to 1 milliliter (mL).
This equivalency is one reason healthcare is beginning to discontinue the use of cc as a measurement in practice. Syringes are marked by mL, medications are measured in mL, and mL is an easier unit to communicate to patients who can return demonstrate understanding than cc.
For example, household cabinets may have bismuth subsalicylate (e.g. Pepto-Bismol) or guaifenesin (e.g. Robitussin) and the plastic cup that accompanies. The cup has line that measure the content in mL rather than cc. Because of its common household use, patients may comprehend mL as a unit of measurement much better than imagining, say, 30 centimeters cubed of medication.
1 teaspoon (tsp) is equivalent to 5 cc or 5 mL.
1 tablespoon (usually abbreviated to Tbsp instead of a capital letter T as to not be confused with the metric prefix tera-) is equivalent to 15 cc or 15 mL.
1 kiloliter (kL) is equivalent to 1,000 liters (L), which is 1 million mL or 1 million cc.
So, 1 cc is exactly the same as 1 mL, option B.
