Answer:

C.
11(89)/(100)

Explanation:

We know that,

1 lb = 0.0005 t, ------(1)

Where, lb represents pounds and t represents tons,

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by 23780,

We get,

23,780 lb = 23,780 × 0.0005 = 11.89 pounds,


11.89 = 11 + 0.89 = 11 +(89)/(100)=11(89)/(100)

Hence,


1\text{ lb}=11(89)/(100)\text{ t}

Option C is correct.
