A the amount of space occupied by the object B the amount of matter the object contains
C the material from which the object is made D the force of gravity on the object

6 Why the density of air is less than density of water?

A water contains more particles B particles in a liquid have more mass
C air occupies more space D air contains less particles per unit volume
