Step 1
The picture below shows the cylinder with the radius (R) of 2cm, and the height (H) of 7cm.
cylinder with R=2cm and H=7cm

Step 2
Since R and H have the same unit, we can just calculate the volume of this cylinder as shown:
V = πR2H
               = (22/7)(22)(7)
         = (22)(4)
= 88

Step 3
Now, the calculated number 88, is meaningless unless we include the unit for it. Since R and H units are in cm, the unit for volume will be cm3. Hence:
V = 88cm3

Step 4
Clearly, the answer is D.
