1
Identify the maximum capacity of the graduated cylinder given in the problem, which is 10 mL.
Understand that the maximum capacity represents the total volume the cylinder can hold when filled to the top.
Recognize that the question asks for the volume in milliliters when the cylinder is filled to its maximum capacity.
Since the maximum capacity is 10 mL, the volume of liquid it can contain when filled to the top is exactly 10 mL.
Therefore, the answer corresponds to the option stating 10 mL.
