Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of invitations = 96

Time taken to sign her full name = 5.3 seconds

Total time she needed to sign in 96 invitations is given by


96* 5.3\\\\=508.8\ seconds

And we know that


1\ minute=60\ seconds\\\\508.8\ seconds=(508.8)/(60)=8.48\ minutes

So, Lola will be able to finish signing all the invitations after 8.84 minutes.

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.
