Answer
A
a meter stick, a ruler, and water
B
a meter stick, a balance, and water
C
a balance, water, and a ruler
D
a balance, water, and a beaker

Explanation

A balance measures mass. To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, Sara can use water displacement: put water in a beaker, note the water level, then submerge the object and measure how much the level rises. Therefore, the needed tools are a balance, water, and a beaker.
