Answer:

A

Explanation:

Pick a letter that's easy to count. I chose Q, because it has a tail below the baseline that makes them easy to spot.

Not C or D — too many quarters

Not B — too many nickels

It is often easier to find the correct answer choice by eliminating the bad choices, then seeing if what is left is consistent with the problem statement.

Choice A seems to have the right numbers of pennies and dimes (along with quarters and nickels).
