Answer:

  D) 4pi(3.7)^3/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is ...

  $V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

This is given in terms of the radius, which is half the diameter

  r = d/2 = (7.4 cm)/2 = 3.7 cm

Using this value in the formula, we have ...

  $V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(3.7)^3\\\\ \boxed{V=\dfrac{4\pi(3.7)^3}{3}} \qquad\text{matches D}$
