Answer: B) So they can communicate their results without confusion

Explanation: There are other systems besides the metric system, though the metric is the most commonly used system. In the SI international system, all units are derived from each other, forming a unique international standard. That way, all scientists around the world, or at least most of them using the SI system, can communicate in a unique scientific "language" without confusion and misunderstanding.
