To calculate the density of the brown sugar, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
\]

Given:
- Mass = 12.9 g
- Volume = 8.0 cm³

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Density} = \frac{12.9 \, \text{g}}{8.0 \, \text{cm}^3} = 1.6125 \, \text{g/cm}^3
\]

Rounding this to two decimal places, the density is approximately:

\[
1.61 \, \text{g/cm}^3
\]

Among the provided options, the closest response is:

**1.6 g/cm³**.
