What you are given with in the question?

anonymous · Answer

The mass of grams and the density.

mathslover · Answer

Not mass of grams but Mass of the large diamond (in grams) and the density of diamond.

anonymous · Answer

So, do I divide the two?

mathslover · Answer

You know Density = Mass/ Volume 

3.51 g/cm^3 = 481.3 g / Volume

Volume = 481.3 g / 3.51 g/cm^3 =  $\dfrac{481.3 }{3.51}$ cubic cm .

I got it. It was D, if I was right.

Yep, you're right...

No wait..

you're right $\LARGE{\mathsf{AGAIN}}$ ! :)
