Answer:

The correct answer is kilo.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prefix Kilo indicates the multiplication of a value by a factor of
10^(3). The metric system is an alternative system used in most countries, as well as in the United States. The metric system is based on the possibility of using one of a series of prefixes, including kilo-(
10^(3)), hecto-(
10^(2)), deca-(
10^(1)), deci-(
10^(-1)), centi-(
10^(-2)), and mili-(
10^(-3)), with the base unit of measurement, such as meter, liter, or gram.

As an example, one kilogram (kg) equals 1000 g (grams).

Have a nice day!
