C Correct answer
Explanation

Centipoise is the standard unit for measuring viscosity, representing a fluid's resistance to flow. It equals 1/100 of a poise, which is the CGS unit for dynamic viscosity. Common liquids like water have low viscosity (around 1 centipoise), while honey has much higher viscosity.
