Final answer:

In the options provided, 'meters' are not a derived unit of volume, weight, or density; 'cubic decimeters' and 'grams per cubic centimeter' are derived units for volume and density, respectively, while 'newtons' are a derived unit of force used for weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The derived units for volume, weight, and density generally include cubic units for volume (such as cubic meters or cubic centimeters), units of force for weight (like newtons), and mass per unit volume for density (such as grams per cubic centimeter). Considering the options provided:

  • A. cubic decimeters - This is a derived unit of volume.
  • B. grams per cubic centimeter - This is a derived unit of density.
  • C. meters - Meters alone are not a derived unit of volume, weight, or density, but are a base unit of length in the SI system.
  • D. newtons - Newtons are a derived SI unit of force often used to define weight, not volume or density.

Therefore, meters are NOT derived units of volume, weight, and density.
