Answer:

yards

Step-by-step explanation:

1) There are about 0.000621 miles in 1 meter. The number of miles is clearly way smaller than 1, so miles is not the closet

.

2) There are about 3.28 feet in 1 meter. Again, this shows that 1 foot is not close to 1 meter, so feet is not the closet.

3) There are about 39.37 inches in 1 meter. Clearly, 1 inch is not close to 1 meter.

4)There are about 1.09 yards in 1 meter. 1.09 can round down to 1, so this is the closest to a meter.
