The correct answer is cups.
To determine which of the following is a measure of volume, you need to understand what volume is. Volume is a measure of the amount of space occupied by an object or substance.
Now, let's analyze each option to see if it represents a measure of volume:
1. Kilograms: Kilograms are a unit of mass, not volume. They measure the amount of matter in an object, not the space it occupies.
2. Seconds: Seconds are a unit of time, not volume. They measure the duration or length of time.
3. Centimeters: Centimeters are a unit of length, not volume. They measure the distance between two points.
4. Cups: Cups are indeed a unit of volume. They are commonly used to measure liquids or the capacity of containers.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is cups.
