Decide whether the following statement makes sense or does not make sense. Explain your reasoning. 

The beach ball we played with has a density of 10 grams per cubic centimeter.

Choose the correct answer below?

A. This statement does not make sense because 10 grams per cubic centimeter is far greater than the density of water, which is 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Not only would this beach ball be heavy, but it would also sink in water.

B. This statement does not make sense because 10 grams per cubic centimeter is much less than the density of air, which is approximately 1,225 grams per cubic centimeter. The ball would actually float in the air if this were true.

C. This statement makes sense because 10 grams per cubic centimeter is far greater than the density of air, which is approximately 0.001225 grams per cubic centimeter. The ball would be just the right weight to throw.

D. This statement makes sense because 10 grams per cubic centimeter is less than the density of water, which is 100 grams per cubic centimeter. Thus, the beach ball would float in water.
