Answer:

B. 3 g/mL

Explanation:

The first thing is to know the density formula:

Density is given as follows:

d = m / V

let m: mass and V: volume.

We have that the mass of the metal is 1800 grams and the volume of 600 milliliters.

Therefore, replacing:

d = 1800/600 = 3 g / mL

That is, the density is 3 grams per milliliter.
