Answer:

Density = mass/volume

Explanation:

The mass per unit volume of a given substance is called its density. It can be represented by d or ρ. Mathematically, it is given by :

density=mass/volume

The SI unit of mass is kg and the SI unit of volume is m³. So, the SI unit of density is kg/m³.

So, the statement that defines density is "A measure of how much mass a given volume of a substance will have". Hence, the correct option is (c).
