beaker
B
graduated cylinder
C
pippette
D
test tube
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Among the following, graduated cylinder is the best suited for accurately measuring the volume of a liquid. Using graduated cylinder reduces the error in the measurement of volume of liquid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The piece of glassware used for measuring 10 mL of solution is graduated cylinder.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volumetric flasks, burettes, and pipettes made for measuring small amounts of liquid are the most accurate, with tolerances of less than ±0.02.

Detailed explanation-4: -Volumetric pipets provide the most accurate means for delivering a known volume of solution. A transfer pipet delivering less than 100 mL generally is accurate to the hundredth of a mL. Larger transfer pipets are accurate to a tenth of a mL.

Detailed explanation-5: -Liquid volume is usually measured using either a graduated cylinder or a buret. As the name implies, a graduated cylinder is a cylindrical glass or plastic tube sealed at one end, with a calibrated scale etched (or marked) on the outside wall.
