B Correct answer
Explanation

This is a lateral thinking riddle. A hole is empty space by definition, so there is zero soil in it regardless of its dimensions. The radius and depth measurements are red herrings - the volume of soil in a hole is always 0. Option B is correct with '0 square cm' though strictly it should be 0 cubic cm.
