The correct answer is: $6.00 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~cm}^3$
Volume of unit cell $=\mathrm{a}^3=$ ?
Density $(\rho)=\frac{M \times n}{a^3 \times N_A}$
$\mathrm{a}^3=\frac{\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{n}}{\rho \times \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}}=\frac{180 \times 4}{120 \times 10^{21}}=6.00 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~cm}^3$
