Answer: Option A

A cone has a diameter of 6 cm

Diameter of the cone = 6cm

Firstly, we need to find the radius of the cone

Radius = diameter / 2

Radius = 6/2

Radius = 3cm

The height of the cone = 3 x diameter of the cone

Height = 3 x 6

Height = 18 cm


\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of a cone = }(1)/(3)\cdot\pi\cdot r^2\cdot\text{ h} \\ V\text{ = }(1)/(3)\cdot(3.14)(3cm)^2(18\operatorname{cm}) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is Option A
