Explanation

Choice A is correct. It's given that the object has a mass of $168$ grams and a volume of $24$ cubic centimeters. Dividing the mass, in grams, of the object by the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the object gives the density, in grams per cubic centimeter, of the object. It follows that the density of the object is $StartFraction 168 grams Over 24 cubic centimeters EndFraction$ , which is equivalent to $StartFraction 168 Over 24 EndFraction$ grams per cubic centimeter, or $7$ grams per cubic centimeter.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
