  • A38.808
  • B19.404
  • C9.702
  • D29.106

Step-by-Step Solution

Capacity = (2/3)π cubic cm, and dividing by 1000 gives 19.404 litres. The trap 38.808 uses the whole sphere (4/3)π, but a bowl is only half of one; 9.702 uses (1/3)π, halving a second time; 29.106 uses π with no fraction at all.
Answer: B) 19.404
