Answer:

A.
0.36 g/cm^3

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of sphere =12 g

Radius of sphere=2 cm

We have to find the volume of sphere

We know that formula of sphere

Volume of sphere=
(4)/(3)\pi r^3

Using this formula and substitute the values in the formula

Volume of sphere =
(4)/(3)\pi (2)^3=(32)/(3)\pi cm^3

We know that

Density =
(Mass)/(volume)

Density =
(12)/((32)/(3)\pi)

Density=
(9)/(8* (22)/(7))

Using
\pi=(22)/(7)

Density=
0.357 g/cm^3

Density=
0.36 g/cm^3

Therefore, option A is true.
