Step-by-step explanation:

The number of Beverages present at the store ;

Soda = 2000ml = 2L

Apple Juice = 2.5L

Fruit Punch = 1.5L

Lemonade = 2L

Now, we have to buy exactly 10 liters but it should be at least one container of each beverage.

Soda + Apple juice + Fruit Punch + Lemonade = 8L

So we need 2 L more.

The only way of doing this is by either having 2 containers of soda or 2 containers of lemonade.

We can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:The combination of beverages she can purchase is:Soda = 2 containerApple juice = 1 containerFruit punch= 1 containerLemonade = 1 container
