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

\(\text{Option A:}=50\times 10\times 40=20\ 000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 20\ \text{L}\)

\(\text{Option B:}=20\times 100\times 50=100\ 000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 100\ \text{L}\)

\(\text{Option C:}=200\times 200\times 200=8\ 000\ 000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 8000\ \text{L}\)

\(\text{Option D:}=10\times 10\times 20=2000\ \text{cm}^3\ \Longrightarrow 2\ \text{L}\ \checkmark\)

\(\Rightarrow D\)
