Volume of a sphere = 4/3 × πr³. Substitute r=12: volume = 4/3 × 3.14 × 12³ = 7234.56 cubic m. A sphere is a fully round solid, so its volume depends on the cube of the radius, r³. Cubing the radius means multiplying the radius by itself three times before applying 4/3π. The answer is in cubic units, so the correct choice is 7234.56 m³.
