Answer: Option B: 20lb

Explanation:

The data we have is:

The box weighs 10.13 kilograms. (it says 1013, but i guess it is now written correctly, i used this number because is consistent with the number of decimals after the point with the rest of the data)

1 kilogram = 2.20 lb

Then each of these 10.13 kg corresponds to 2.20 pounds, this means that we have a total of:

2.20*10.13 pounds = 22.286 pounds

Now, the closest value to this one is option B, 20lb
