Hecta is the prefix meaning 100 times;
Kilo means 1000 times;
Deca is one tenth;
and Centi is one hundredth.
In this case, the smallest and most suitable for measuring small objects would be Centi.

From Largest to smallest unit of measure:

KILO means 1000

HECTO means 100

DEKA means 10

DECI means 1/10

CENTI means 1/100

MILLI means 1/1000

Accordingly, the answer is 4 or D, for Centi. Of the options provided Centi is the smallest unit of measure. Width is a red herring to confuse you.

What is the slope of the function, represented by the table of values below?

Maslowich

Notice the table of values, thus let's pick two points from it, to check what the slope may be,

$\bf \begin{array}{l|ccccccc}
x&-2&\underline{1}&2&\underline{4}&7\\
y&16&\underline{4}&0&\underline{-8}&-20
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ 1}} &,&{{ 4}}~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ -8}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{-8-4}{4-1}\implies \cfrac{-12}{3}\\\\\\ \cfrac{-4}{1}\implies -4$
