Eva has two containers labeled A and B. The diameter of container A is 8 inches and the diameter of container B is 12 inches. If Eva pours the water from container A into container B, which will occur?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. The volume of the water in container B will be greater than the volume of the water in container A.
B. The mass of the water in container B will be less than the mass of the water in container A.
C. The density of the water in container B will be less than the density of the water in container A.
D. The shape of the water in container B will be different than the shape of the water in container A.

I think your information is incomplete. You are giving only one dimension, the diameter. What else do you need to know in order to know the volume of each container?
idk this is the question to a quiz im taking i askd my teacher and he didn't even kno what to say i think its D and i jus need to get this question rite and ill pass but if i miss it then i fail. i jus want as much help as i can get.
I also think it is D. Because of the different diameters, regardless of height, and whether it overflows, the shape of the water must change to a different shape of cylinder.
Liquids change their shape to fit the container they are in, but keep the same volume. That is a definition of liquid.
B. could also be correct if container B is so much shorter than A that some of the water overflows. But that would be a special case.
