The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

ppm means parts per million. So: \[ 1\text{ ppm}=1\text{ part in }10^6\text{ parts}. \] As a fraction: \[ 1\text{ ppm}=\frac{1}{10^6}. \] To convert into percentage, multiply by \(100\): \[ \frac{1}{10^6}\times100. \] \[ =\frac{100}{10^6}. \] \[ =10^{-4}\%. \] \[ =0.0001\%. \] Therefore: \[ 1\text{ ppm}=0.0001\%. \]
