Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's reassess the densities of hydrogen and helium.

Density of hydrogen = 9 × 10^5 g/cm^3
Density of helium = 2 × 10^4 g/cm^3

To determine which statement is true, we can calculate the ratio of the density of hydrogen to the density of helium:

(9 × 10^5) / (2 × 10^4) = 45

Since the ratio is 45, it means that the density of hydrogen is approximately 45 times the density of helium. Therefore, the correct option is:

B. The density of hydrogen is approximately 45 times the density of helium.
