To answer this question, you need to know how many fluid ounces are in a pint and in a quart. None of the choices reflect 98 fl oz, so I showed the ones that would hold 96 fluid ounces.

1 cup = 8 fl oz
2 cups = 16 fl oz
1 pint = 2 cups, so 1 pint also equals 16 fl oz.

2 pints equal 1 quart, so 16 x 2 = 32 oz (the number of fluid ounces in a quart)

1 pint - 16 fl oz
1 quart = 32 fl oz

Choice A: 3 quarts x 32 =96 fl oz.
Choice B: 2 quarts x 32 = 64 fl oz
Choice C: 2 quarts x 32 + 2 pints x 16 = 64 + 32 (96 fl oz)
Choice D: 1 quart x 32 + 8 cups x 8 = 32 + 64 (96 fl oz)
Choice E: 2 cups x 8 + 2 pints x 16 = 16 + 32 (48 fl oz)
