Detailed Solution

As we know, in mathematics, numbers are classified according to dimensions. The image will be named one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional depending on how many components are needed to make a complete measurement.
As for the straight line, we see that it requires only one component to measure it completely. So we can say that a line segment is one-dimensional and has only length.
And for squares, rectangles, etc., two components are required, one considered as the length and the other as the breadth or width. Therefore, these shapes are named as two-dimensional shapes.
2D characters cover the surface of the body when placed on some other body. Thus, two-dimensional figures have an area and a perimeter that correspond to the length of the outer boundary.
Also for figures like cuboid, sphere, cylinder etc. these figures require three components which are length, width and height or depth. That is why they are named as three-dimensional figures.
And we see that these types of characters take up space and area. Therefore, these numbers have volume and surface area.
So we see from above that the amount of space occupied by a body is its volume.
So the correct answer is option 3.
