Answer: The volume of a cube is calculated by multiplying the edge length by itself three times, or V = l^3.

If the edge length of Jasmine's cube is doubled, the new edge length will be 4 inches x 2 = 8 inches.

Thus, the new volume of the cube would be V = 8^3 = 512 cubic inches.

Comparing this new volume to the original volume of the cube, V = 4^3 = 64 cubic inches, we can see that the new volume is multiplied by 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) The volume is multiplied by 8.
