Explanation:

The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement. This means that its units are related to each other by powers of 10. For example, 1 meter = 10 decimeters = 100 centimeters = 1000 millimeters, and 1 kilogram = 10 hectograms = 100 decagrams = 1000 grams. So all units in the metric system are based on the number 10.

Answer:

B. 10.
