CAbout 215

DAbout 217

Correct answer: (B) About 212

Explanation

The answer is about 212.

The arts admissions are 100, 100, 300 and 350.

Their sum is 850.

The average is 850 divided by four colleges.

That is 212.5, which rounds to about 212.

The other options do not match this value.

So the answer is about 212.
