Answer:D
We can calculate the volume by dividing the cube into five layers from top to bottom:

The first and fifth layers have no holes, and the volume of each layer is cubic centimeters.
The volume of the second layer is cubic centimeters.
The volume of the third layer is cubic centimeters.
The volume of the fourth layer is cubic centimeters.
