Answer:

The correct option is : c) 0.0431 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is defined as the amount of space occupied by a substance when enclosed in a container. The substance can be present in the solid, liquid, gas, or plasma state. The SI unit of volume is cubic metre (m³).

Another unit of volume included by the metric system is litre (L), where one litre is equal to 1000 cm³.

1 L = 1000 cm³

or, 1 cm³ = (1 ÷ 1000) L = 0.001 L

Therefore,

43.1 cm³ = (43.1 ÷ 1000) L = 0.0431 L
