The informal argument for the formula for the volume of a cylinder is based on thinking of a cylinder as **Option #3: stacked circles**.
This is because a cylinder can be visualized as consisting of many circular discs stacked on top of one another. The volume of the cylinder is then calculated by multiplying the area of the base circle (πr²) by the height (h), leading to the formula V = πr²h.
