D. A number of four-packs of cartridges

Answer 1

The variable cc refers to how much ink is in a certain number of cartridges. If the box says 42cc, that means the amount of ink in those particular cartridges is 42. If a box said 12cc, the amount would be 12. The variable cc just states the amount of ink you can expect from a particular amount of cartridges.
