a. 1 kilogram
b. 3 kilograms
c. 9 kilograms
d. 27 kilograms

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

The wooden log originally weighs 9 kilograms. When we cut it into pieces, the total weight of all the pieces should be equal to the weight of the original log because we are just dividing it, not adding or removing any mass.

Step2: Determine the total weight

Since the original weight is 9 kilograms, the total weight of the 3 pieces after cutting is still 9 kilograms.

Answer:

C. 9 kilograms
