A
temperature
B
time
C
length
D
mass
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1 meter. Decameter (dam) = 10 meters. Hectometer (hm) = 100 meters. Kilometer (km) = 1, 000 meters.

Detailed explanation-2: -One practical use is for altitude of geopotential heights in meteorology. The volumetric form cubic decametre is convenient for describing large volumes of water such as in rivers and lakes; a volume of one cubic decametre (dam3) is equivalent to a capacity of one megalitre (ML).

Detailed explanation-3: -The decimeter is the length of the metric scale. The Decimeter Symbol is Dm In Maths. The word “Deci” means one-tenth, and hence 1 decimeter/1 Decimetre(1dm) means one-tenth of a meter. Since the meter is 100 cm, one-tenth of 100 cm is 10 cm. One decimeter measures 10 centimetres.
