Solution

The maximum number of identical pieces a cube can be cut into by 3 cuts is 8 (option d).

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. The first cut will divide the cube into 2 pieces.
  2. The second cut will divide each of the 2 pieces into 2 again, making a total of 4 pieces.
  3. The third cut will divide each of the 4 pieces into 2, making a total of 8 pieces.

So, with 3 cuts, you can divide a cube into a maximum of 8 identical pieces.
