B.5c + 2, where c is the number of candies Maya has
C.2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Maya has
D.2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Katie has

Answer 1

The answer is 2c + 5, where C is the number of candies Katie has, because you want twice the amount of Katie's candies, which is 2c, and then 5 more than that, which is the + 5. I hope this helps!
