We know, Volume of a Sphere = 4/3 πr³
So, v = 4/3 * π * (2)³
v = 4/3 * π * 8
v = 32/3π cm³

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Opton (a) is correct.

The volume of sphere is
(32)/(3)\pi cm³

Explanation:

Given : Diameter of a sphere is 4 cm.

We have to find the volume of the sphere and choose out of given option whic represents the volume correctly.

Since, given diameter of a sphere is 4 cm thus, radius is half of diameter and is 2 cm.

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

Substitue, r = 2 , we get,

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

Simplify, we have,

Volume of sphere =
(4)/(3)\pi 8

Volume of sphere =
(32)/(3)\pi

Thus, The volume of sphere is
(32)/(3)\pi cm³
