Answer: C. Density

Roland was most probably measuring density. 

Explanation:

The measurement given in the question is $3.12 g/cm^3$ . In The unit of the measurement g is the unit of mass and $cm^3$ is the unit of volume. Ratio of mass to volume gives an object’s density.

Hence $g/cm^3$ is the unit of density. Density has other units as well. 

Density of liquids is a crucial factor in fluid mechanics. Difference in densities of an object and a fluid determines whether that object will float or sink in that liquid. When two different liquids are mixed the liquid which has lesser density will form a layer above the denser liquid.
