One hundredth of a liter is equal to one:

A. kiloliter
B. hectoliter
C. decaliter
D. milliliter
E. megaliter
F. deciliter
G. centiliter
H. microliter

Answer :

To solve the problem, we start by understanding that the metric prefix for one hundredth is \(\frac{1}{100}\). In the metric system, the prefix \(\textbf{centi-}\) is used to denote a hundredth of the base unit.

1. We are given one hundredth of a liter:
$$
\text{One hundredth of a liter} = \frac{1}{100} \text{ liters} = 0.01 \text{ liters}.
$$

2. The prefix that corresponds to one hundredth is \(\textbf{centi-}\). For example, one liter divided by 100 is called one centiliter.

3. Matching the available multiple-choice options, the correct answer corresponds to the prefix \(\textbf{centi}\), which is the seventh option listed.

Thus, the final answer is that one hundredth of a liter is equal to one \(\textbf{centi}\) (option 7).
