\(1\ \text{cm}^3=1\ \text{mL}\ \ \Longrightarrow\ 1000\ \text{cm}^3=1000\ \text{mL}=1\ \text{L}\)

\(\text{Option A:}=10\times 20\times 5=1000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 1\ \text{L}\ \checkmark\)

\(\text{Option B:}=40\times 25\times 10=10\ 000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 10\ \text{L}\)

\(\text{Option C:}=40\times 40\times 20=32\ 000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 32\ \text{L}\)

\(\text{Option D:}=20\times 10\times 15=3000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 3\ \text{L}\)

\(\Rightarrow A\)
