Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option B: 10^-4 cm.
Here's why:
Micron is another name for micrometer.
The prefix "micro-" always means one millionth (1/1,000,000) or 10^-6.
So, 1 micron = 1 micrometer = 10^-6 meters.
Now, we need to convert meters to centimeters.
We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters or 10² centimeters.
Therefore, 1 micron = 10^-6 meters = 10^-6 * 10² centimeters = 10^-6+2 centimeters = 10^-4 centimeters.
So, one micron represents a length of 10^-4 cm.
