Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The metric units are in the following order:

1 Kilogram (kg) = 1000 g

Hectogram (hg) = 100 g

Decagram (dag) = 10 g

gram (g) = 1 g

decigram (dg) = 0.1 g

centigram (cg) =0.01 g

milligram (mg) = 0.001 g

A) 25 g = 25 g

B) 2.5 hg = 2.5 × 100 = 250 g

C) 2,500 dg = 2,500 × 0.1 g=250 g

D) 0.25 kg = 0.25 × 1000 g = 250 g

250 g = 250 g = 250 > 25 g

The smallest amount of matter is 25 g.
