What is the abbreviation for a teaspoon?

tsp.
Tbsp.
oz.
lb.

The correct answer is: tsp.

The abbreviation for a teaspoon is "tsp." This shorthand is commonly used in cooking and medication dosages to denote a measurement of volume, specifically that of a teaspoon. The "t" stands for teaspoon, while the "sp" represents spoon, together forming a well-recognized and widely accepted abbreviation. In contrast, other abbreviations provided refer to different measurements: "Tbsp." stands for tablespoon, which is larger than a teaspoon; "oz." refers to ounces, a unit of weight or volume; and "lb." signifies pounds, a unit of weight. Understanding these distinctions is crucial, especially in the context of medication administration where precise measurements are essential for safety and effectiveness.
