Answer is C i.e. 259 cents
Explanation:
As 3 apples cost 37 cents.
One apple will cost $\frac{37}{3}$ cents.
Now $1 \frac{3}{4}$ dozen apples are $12 + 12 \times \frac{3}{4} = 12 + 9 = 21$ apples.
Hence, $1 \frac{3}{4}$ dozen apples will cost $\frac{37}{3} \times 21 = \frac{37}{1 ⧸ 3} \times 37 \times 7 = 259$ cents.
Hence answer is C i.e. 259 cents.
