To find the volume of the mug, which can be modeled as a cylinder, we use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

Where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, and \( h \) is the height.

1. **Calculate the radius**: The diameter of the mug is 9 centimeters, so the radius \( r \) is half of that:
\[
r = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \text{ cm}
\]

2. **Height of the mug**: The height \( h \) of the mug is given as 11 centimeters.

3. **Calculate the volume**:
\[
V = \pi (4.5)^2 (11)
\]
First, calculate \( (4.5)^2 \):
\[
(4.5)^2 = 20.25
\]
Now substitute this back into the volume formula:
\[
V = \pi (20.25)(11)
\]
Continue the calculation:
\[
V = \pi (222.75)
\]
So the volume is approximately:
\[
V \approx 3.14 \times 222.75 \approx 700.43 \text{ cm}^3
\]

Thus, the closest value to the volume of the mug is approximately \(\mathbf{700.43 \, \text{cm}^3}\).
