The correct answer is: $16\text{ ounces}$

Explanation

1 pound (avoirdupois) is defined as 16 ounces.

Steps:

  1. Definition: $1\text{ lb} = 16\text{ oz}$
  2. (If you prefer in grams) $1\text{ lb} = 453.59237\text{ g}$ and $1\text{ oz} = 28.349523125\text{ g}$
  3. Division: $453.59237 \div 28.349523125 = 16$

Therefore, 1 lb equals 16 ounces.
