B. 1.65 g/cm3

C. 2.65 g/cm3

D. 3.5 g/cm3

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

True density is the quotient of mass over the volume of a sample, without considering pores in the material. The true density of normal mineral soil is 2.65 grams per cubic centimeter. However, it can be as high as 3 g/cm3 for very dense particles and as low as 0.9 g/cm3 for organic particles.
