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.
