A) $0.0027 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.
B) $0.0036 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.
C) $0.0015 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.
D) $0.0051 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.
E) $0.0040 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.

The volume of water displaced by the ball can be found using the principle of buoyancy, which states that the weight of the displaced fluid is equal to the weight of the object. Given the mass of the ball is $1.5 \mathrm{~kg}$, and assuming the density of water is $1000 \mathrm{~kg/m}^3$, the volume of water displaced is calculated as $V = \frac{m}{\rho} = \frac{1.5}{1000} = 0.0015 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$.
