Solution

The size comparison of one nanometer to the width of a human hair is approximately 1:100,000. So, the correct answer is c.1:100,000.

Here's how we get to that:

  1. First, understand what a nanometer is. A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.

  2. Next, consider the width of a human hair. The average human hair is about 100,000 nanometers wide.

  3. Therefore, when comparing the size of one nanometer to the width of a human hair, the ratio is about 1:100,000.
