The volume of a cylinder (which the jar resembles) can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the width of the jar is 10 cm (which is also the diameter), the radius is half of that, so r = 10/2 = 5 cm.
Now we plug in the values: V = 3.14 x 5^2 x 16 = 3.14 x 25 x 16 = 3.14 x 400 = 1,256 cubic centimeters.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 1,256 cubic centimeters.
