Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Specific gravity of fluid = 0.750

Density of fluid = Specific gravity of fluid x Density of water

Density of fluid = 0.750 x 1000

Density of fluid = 750 kg/m³

Mass of fluid = 22.5 kg

We have

Mass = Volume x Density

22.5 = Volume x 750

Volume = 0.03 m³ = 30 L

Option C is the correct answer.
