After one stroke, the container will have 36 - 11eb0d3b_981d_98f6_9790_a958dc994899_TB1243_11 = 25 cm³ of water remaining. After two strokes, the container will have 25 - 11eb0d3b_981d_98f6_9790_a958dc994899_TB1243_11 = 14 cm³ of water remaining. After three strokes, the container will have 14 - 11eb0d3b_981d_98f6_9790_a958dc994899_TB1243_11 = 3 cm³ of water remaining. Therefore, the answer is A) 3 cm³.
