We know that density = mass/volume.
The density of gold is given as 19.6 g/cm^3.
We need to find the maximum volume of gold that we can carry, given that we can carry a maximum of 20 kg.
Let's first convert 20 kg to grams: 
20 kg = 20,000 g.

Now we can use the density formula to find the maximum volume:
density = mass/volume
19.6 g/cm^3 = 20,000 g/volume
volume = 20,000 g/19.6 g/cm^3
volume = 1,020.4 cm^3

Therefore, the maximum volume of gold that we can carry is 1,020.4 cm^3. This is equivalent to answer choice B, 1.0 x 10^10 cm^3.
