Tb

The correct answer is: Tbsp

The standard abbreviation for tablespoon is "Tbsp." This abbreviation is widely recognized in culinary measurements and medical dosages. It clearly indicates the measurement in a way that distinguishes it from other similar measurements. Using "Tbsp" helps avoid confusion with other abbreviations that might represent different quantities or measures. For example, the other abbreviations might refer to different items or be less commonly recognized, which could lead to misunderstandings in recipes or dosage instructions. By using "Tbsp," healthcare professionals and cooks alike can ensure clear communication regarding the quantity required, reducing the risk of error in both cooking and medication administration.
