Consider just one side of the 4 cm cube.

To divide it into 1 cm squares, you need to make 3 cuts.

Since a cube has three dimensions (length, width, and height), you need to make 3 cuts along each dimension.

Total Cuts: Multiply the number of cuts per side by the number of sides

3 cuts/side × 3 sides = 9 cuts.

Hence the correct answer is Option 2.
