Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The abbreviation for milliseconds is ms, which is written in lowercase letters without any space or period. Choice A is incorrect because capital M typically represents mega, which is a prefix meaning one million times larger than the base unit. Choice C represents nanoseconds, which are one thousand times smaller than milliseconds. Choice D represents kiloseconds, which are one thousand times larger than milliseconds. Choice E appears to be a random string of characters and does not represent any known unit or prefix.
