For this case we have the following options:

An apple, it is known that the apple will never weigh 3 grams.

A backpack will not have that weight either.

A cat would never weigh 3 grams or be newborn.

To have an object of 3 grams, the object must be very light.

A paperclip is very likely to weigh 3 grams because it is a very small and extremely light object.

Option C

Answer:

C. a paper clip

Explanation:

An apple generally weighs more than 3 grams, and can go even into oz.

Depending on the type of material the backpack is made of, and also how big it is, the mass can vary, however, it is safe to say the backpack will be more than 3 grams.

A cat definitely weighs more than 3 grams. Any born cat that weighs only 3 grams will not survive.
