Solution

The correct option is D Water
A measuring cylinder and water can be used to measure the volume of irregular solids. Following steps are involved in the measurement:
  • Fill the measuring cylinder partially with water and note the water level.
  • The solid is completely dipped in water so that the water level rises.
  • The difference in the water levels in the two cases gives the volume of the irregular solid.
A spring balance is used to find out the mass of a body.

Once mass and volume of the solid are obtained, density can be found using the formula:
Density=MassVolume
