The correct answer is: $8.98 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{d} & =\frac{\mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{V} \times \mathrm{Na}} \\ & =\frac{1 \times 90}{\left(3.36 \times 10^{-8}\right)^3 \times\left(2.64 \times 10^{23}\right)} \\ & =\frac{90 \times 10}{(3.36)^3 \times 2.64}=8.98 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}\end{aligned}$
