The correct answer is A. 1000 km = 1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

In science, there are different units to measure distance, time, temperature, among others. This often implies certain units are bigger/smaller than others, and therefore they need to be converted. In the case of distance, this is measured using centimeters, meters, kilometers, inches, etc, although the two more common units are meters and kilometers. In this case, kilometers cover a bigger distance than meters; indeed, there are 1000 meters in one kilometer which means 1000 m or
10^(3)m = 1 km and therefore it is not correct that 1000km = 1 meter as 1000 km are equivalent to 1,000,000 m considering 1000 km x 1000 m (number of meters in each kilometer) = 1,000,000.
