Answer:

D) 64 cm^3​

Explanation:

The volume of a cube is calculated using the formula:


\begin{gathered} V=s^3 \\ \text{where s=side length} \end{gathered}

In the figure:


s=3.89\approx4\operatorname{cm}

Note that since we need the estimated volume, we can round the side length to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the estimated volume of the cube will be:


V=4^3=64\operatorname{cm}^3

The correct option is D.
