  • Metric Prefixes: Identifying the Smallest Unit - Micro vs. Others
    The smallest metric prefix out of those listed is B) micro. Here's why:

    * Micro (µ): Represents 1/1,000,000 (one millionth)

    * Milli (m): Represents 1/1,000 (one thousandth)

    * Centi (c): Represents 1/100 (one hundredth)

    * Deci (d): Represents 1/10 (one tenth)

    Since a millionth is smaller than a thousandth, a hundredth, or a tenth, micro is the smallest prefix.
