The volume of one ounce of gold is calculated using its density (19.3 g/cm³) and the mass of an ounce (28.349 g), which gives a volume of approximately 1.469 cm³, not matching any of the provided options.

The volume of one ounce of gold can be calculated using its density, which is the mass-to-volume ratio. The known density of gold is approximately 19.3 g/cm³. To find the volume of one ounce of gold, which is 28.349 grams (using the standard conversion of 1 oz = 28.349 g), we can use the formula for density: Volume = Mass / Density.

Volume = 28.349 g / 19.3 g/cm³ = approximately 1.469 cm³

Therefore, the correct answer for the volume of one ounce of gold is none of the provided options (a, b, c, or d), as the actual calculation gives us a volume of approximately 1.469 cm³.
