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 the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance or shape occupies or contains. Graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. A heavy object has more mass than a light one. You can use a scale or a balance to measure mass. The amount of mass in an object does not change when the pull of gravity changes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The volume of an object is the amount of space it fills. Large volumes are measured in cubic metres (m3). Smaller volumes are measured in cubic centimetres (cm3) or cubic millimetres (mm3).
