The question asks for the volume of the balloon in cm3, and the answer choices are all in different units (L and cm3). To convert from L to cm3, we need to multiply by 1000 (since 1 L = 1000 cm3). Thus, 2.59 L is equal to 2.59 x 1000 = 2590 cm3. Choice A is the only answer choice that expresses the volume as 2.59 x 1010 cm3, which is equivalent to 2590 cm3.
