    The correct answer for this question is letter C. 45%

    Porosity is defined as the measure of the void spaces in a material over the total volume.

    The formula in getting the porosity is

    Porosity = (Volume of Voids / Total Volume) x 100%

    Porosity = (400ml / 888ml) x 100%

    Porosity = 0.45045 x 100

    Porosity = 45%
