C. 1.529 L
D. Two of the above

Answer :

To solve this question, we need to convert 152.9 milliliters into different units and see which of the given options are correct:

1. Conversion to Centiliters:
- There are 10 milliliters (mL) in a centiliter (cL).
- So, to convert milliliters to centiliters, divide by 10.
- [tex]\( 152.9 \, \text{mL} \div 10 = 15.29 \, \text{cL} \)[/tex].

2. Conversion to Deciliters:
- There are 100 milliliters in a deciliter (dL).
- So, to convert milliliters to deciliters, divide by 100.
- [tex]\( 152.9 \, \text{mL} \div 100 = 1.529 \, \text{dL} \)[/tex].

3. Conversion to Liters:
- There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter (L).
- So, to convert milliliters to liters, divide by 1,000.
- [tex]\( 152.9 \, \text{mL} \div 1000 = 0.1529 \, \text{L} \)[/tex].

Now, let's check the options:
- 15.29 cL is correct, as 152.9 mL equals 15.29 cL.
- 15.29 dL is not correct, because 152.9 mL equals 1.529 dL.
- 1.529 L is not correct, because 152.9 mL equals 0.1529 L.

Thus, the correct answer is 15.29 cL. Only this option matches the conversions correctly.
