To answer this question we will use the following formula to compute the volume of a sphere:


Volume=(\pi* diameter^3)/(6).

Substituting diameter=4in in the above formula we get:


Volume=(\pi*(4in)^3)/(6).

Simplifying the above result we get:


Volume=(\pi*64in^3)/(6)=(32\pi)/(3)in^3.

Using 3.14 for pi we get:


Volume\approx33.49in^3.

Answer: Option C.
