The cube-shaped box that measures 9 inches along each edge shown below

The volume of the cube is


\begin{gathered} V=l* l* l \\ V=9*9*9 \\ V=729in^3 \end{gathered}

Since we want to check if a cube that is 1000 cubic inches in volume can fit in into the box that is 729 cubic inches, we can conclude that this is not possible

Thus, the answer is option C
