14520(mm)^3 is given

14520( 10^(-3)m)^3
14520* 10^(-9)m^3

14520*10^(-3)*10^(-6)m^3

14.52 (10^(-2)m)^3
14.52 cm^3

1mm=0.1cm
then 1 cubicmm=.1*.1*.1=0.001cubiccm

14520 cubicmm=?
1 cubicmm=0.001cubiccm

then .001*14520/1 =14.52cubic cm

1 mm= 10^-1 cm
then (1mm^3)=(10^-1)^3 cm^3=10^-3 cm^3.

14520 cm^3= 14520 * 10^-3=14.520

so the correct answer is C=14.52
