Final answer:

The range of ounces a coffee machine may dispense, based on the context of standard beverage serving sizes such as coffee and tea which are typically 8 ounces, is option B from the given choices, which is from 6 ounces as the least to 8 ounces as the greatest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the number of ounces a coffee machine may dispense is determined by the least and greatest amounts that the machine is designed to deliver.

Given the context of provided beverage and food products, such as a regular coffee or tea that is typically served in 8 oz servings, and more concentrated beverages like an espresso shot which is just 1 oz, the range would most closely match an option where the least amount is at least 1 ounce and the greatest is 8 ounces or more to accommodate a regular cup of coffee or tea.

However, since none of the options list 1 ounce as the least, and the products such as coffee, tea, cola, coffee ice cream, hot cocoa, and various sodas that tend to come in 8 oz or slightly higher sizes, the best fitting answer from the provided options would be closest to these standard serving sizes. Therefore, the range of ounces the coffee machine may dispense, comparing with the standard sizes, would be option B, which is from 6 ounces as the least and 8 ounces as the greatest.
