Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

It is given that the number of jellybeans in a large jar exceeds twice the number of jellybeans in a small jar by 12.

Let j be the number of jellybeans in the small jar.

Twice the number of jellybeans in a small jar = 2j

Exceeds twice the number of jellybeans in a small jar by 12 = 2j+12

The number of jellybeans in a large jar is represented by the expression 2j+12.

Hence, the correct option is B.
