To solve this problem, we need to use the fact that density is equal to mass divided by volume (d = m/v). We know the density of the solid is 8.0 g/cm3, and we know that we are adding 4.0 g of the solid to 4.00 mL of water.

The first step is to determine the volume of the 4.0 g of solid. We can do this by rearranging the density equation to solve for volume:

v = m/d

v = 4.0 g / 8.0 g/cm3

v = 0.5 cm3

So the solid has a volume of 0.5 cm3.

Next, we need to determine how much the volume of the water will increase when we add the solid. We can find this by using the fact that 1 g of water has a volume of 1 mL. So, we know that the volume of 4.00 g of water is 4.00 mL.

When we add the solid to the water, its volume will increase by 0.5 cm3, or 0.5 mL. So the new volume of water will be 4.00 mL + 0.5 mL = 4.50 mL.

Drawing (b) is the closest representation of this.
