Which physical property is the amount of space something takes up and can be measured with a graduated cylinder?
A
conductivity
B
relative density
C
thermal energy
D
volume
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Volume is a measure of the amount of space that a substance or an object takes up. The basic SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m3), but smaller volumes may be measured in cm3, and liquids may be measured in liters (L) or milliliters (mL).

Detailed explanation-2: -Matter has two fundamental properties: volume and mass. Volume simply refers to the space an object takes up.

Detailed explanation-3: -Density is the property of matter that tells the amount of mass over a given volume. In other words, it measures the amount of matter in a given space.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it. Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object. Mass is expressed in kilogram (kg), grams (g), and milligram (mg).

Detailed explanation-5: -A graduated cylinder measures in milliliters, which is a measure of volume. The English system equivalent is pints, quarts, and gallons.
