Answer (3)

Kilo, for kilogram is the best to use for easuring the mass of a person. 1 Kilogram (Kg) = 1000 grams. For example, I have 60 kilograms (132.27 pounds).
Mili is used for very small quantities (Mili = 1/1000 grams). Deci = 1/10 grams and deca 10 kilograms = 10.000 grams. Good luck !

The best prefix for measuring large quantities such as a person's mass is kilo , which represents 1,000 grams, or 1 kilogram. Other prefixes like milli, deci, and deca are not practical for such large measures. Therefore, the answer to the question is option B: kilo.
