a: 5
b: 1
c: 2
d: 3

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

Let \(x\) be the volume to dispense. We know that the concentration is \(10000\ U/5\ ml\), and the required dose is \(2000\ U\). Using the proportion \(\frac{10000\ U}{5\ ml}=\frac{2000\ U}{x}\).

Step2: Cross - multiply

Cross - multiplying gives \(10000x = 2000\times5\).

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

First, calculate \(2000\times5 = 10000\). Then, \(10000x=10000\), so \(x = 1\ ml\).

B. 1
