To measure length, the SI unit is meters. Therefore, a one meter contains 100 centimeters.
Comment
It should be pointed out that a centimetre is not actually an SI unit -it is described as being a 'non-preferred unit'. In other words, it is a metric unit which may be used alongside the SI system, but is not part of the SI system. SI units all are based on 10 raised to the power of multiples of +/-3.
So, the 'base' unit for length is the metre, and its submultiples are millimetre, micrometre, etc., and its multiples are kilometre, etc. Units such as centimetre (10-2), etc., are not used.

The standard SI unit for length is the meter. Centimeters are a subunit of meters, where 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters.
