To determine which table correctly identifies the SI units for length, volume, mass, and temperature, let's consider the standard definitions and units in the International System of Units (SI):
1. Length: The SI unit for length is the meter (m).
2. Volume: The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m³). While liter (L) is commonly used, it is not the primary SI unit.
3. Mass: The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).
4. Temperature: The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin (K).
Now let's analyze the options provided in the tables:
Option A:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline Quantity & SI unit \\
\hline Length & Meter \\
\hline Volume & \begin{tabular}{l}
Cubic \\
meter
\end{tabular} \\
\hline Mass & Kilogram \\
\hline Temperature & Kelvin \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
This option correctly uses:
- Meter for length
- Cubic meter for volume
- Kilogram for mass
- Kelvin for temperature
Option B:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline Quantity & SI unit \\
\hline Length & Meter \\
\hline Volume & Liter \\
\hline Mass & Kilogram \\
\hline Temperature & Kelvin \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
This option correctly uses:
- Meter for length
- Kilogram for mass
- Kelvin for temperature
But it uses liter (L) instead of cubic meter (m³) for volume. Although liter is a derived unit, it is not the basic SI unit for volume.
Option C:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline Quantity & SI unit \\
\hline Length & \begin{tabular}{l}
Cubic \\
meter
\end{tabular} \\
\hline Volume & Meter \\
\hline Mass & Kilogram \\
\hline Temperature & \begin{tabular}{l}
Degree \\
Celsius
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
This option incorrectly uses:
- Cubic meter for length instead of meter
- Meter for volume instead of cubic meter
- Degree Celsius for temperature instead of kelvin
Given the analysis, the correct identification of SI units is represented by Option A. Thus, the table in Option A correctly identifies the SI units for length, volume, mass, and temperature.
