Answer: A. Alice can pour the water into a graduated cylinder to find the volume

Step-by-step explanation: If you put water into a graduated cylinder, you get accurate numbers. This helps with the equation because estimating isn't always the best way to go. Putting a ruler in the water wont help because you don't know what number the water started at before the displacement. The thermometer won't work either because that is used for temperature.
