Solution

The correct option is B multiplied
If a higher unit of measurement is being converted into a smaller unit, then it is multiplied by the conversion factor. For eg: To convert 10 metres to millimetres, we multiply 10 with 1000 = 10 x 1000 = 10,000 mm. (Here 1000 is the conversion factor as 1 m = 1000 mm)
