B. exactly one gallon

C. more than a gallon

Answer 1

The appropriate choice is ...
C. more than a gallon

3 times 2 quarts is (3*2) = 6 quarts. "Quart" is a sort of mnemonic or short-form of "quarter gallon". As you might imagine, there are 4 quarter-gallons (quarts) in a gallon, so 6 quarts will be more than a gallon.
