Answer: C. finding the volume of an object by pushing liquid aside.

The displacement method (submersion, or dunking method) can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.

I hope this helps! :)
