    C. 15 1/4 pounds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since our options are in pounds, we would need to convert all our weight to pounds.

    Now, by standard conversion 1 pound = 16 Ounce

    3 cartons of blueberries that weigh 12 ounces each

    12 Ounce=0.75 Pound 3 X 0.75 = 2.25 Pounds

    3 cartons of strawberries that weigh 16 ounces each

    16 Ounce = 1 Pound 3 X 1 = 3 Pounds

    4 bunches of bananas that weigh 2.5 pounds

    4 X 2.5 = 10 Pounds

    Total Weight (In Pounds) = 2.25+3+10=15.25 Pounds

    This is equivalent to 15 1/4 pounds.

    The correct option is C.
