What does c.c. indicate?

• A. Cubic centimeter / same volume as ml
• B. Celsius degree
• C. Cup
• D. Calcium carbonate

Answer: (A)

c.c. indicates cubic centimeter, a unit of volume. One cubic centimeter equals one milliliter, so volumes labeled in c.c. are the same as those in mL. This equivalence is why a dose or amount written in cubic centimeters can be read as milliliters in medical and dosing contexts. Celsius degree is a temperature measurement, not a volume. A cup is a volume unit but is not used for precise dosing in medical settings. Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound, not a unit of volume.
