I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The density of a mineral is the  ratio of a mineral's mass to its volume. Density is a measure of the mass of a certain volume of the sample. Hope this answers the question.

Answer: the ratio of a mineral's mass to its volume.

Reason :

  • The density of any substance is defined as its mass per unit of volume.
  • It is mathematically expressed as :

Density = mass /volume .

  • Therefore, in other words, we can say that is the ratio of the mass to its volume.
  • The density of a substance gives an estimate of how compact the substance is.
  • The higher the density the more compact the substance.
  • The same applies to minerals as well.
