The acronym L is used to denote?

  1. Length

  2. Litre

  3. Lead

  4. Low

The correct answer is: Litre

L is used to denote Litre. An acronym is a word formed from the first letters of a series of words, such as L being short for "Litre". The options A, C, and D are incorrect because they are not commonly used acronyms for the letter L. Although Length does start with an L, it is not considered a common acronym for it. Lead can be abbreviated as "Pb" in chemistry and Low is not a commonly used abbreviation for the letter L. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and appropriate option.
