Final answer:

The reimbursement under the "10% Plus" guarantee would be $26.40, which is the total difference of $24 plus an additional 10%, or $2.40. None of the multiple-choice options correctly matches this calculated amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "10% Plus" guarantee means that the woman would be reimbursed not only the difference between the prices she paid and the lower price she found but also an additional 10% of that difference. First, we calculate the difference: $120 - $96 = $24. Then, we calculate the additional 10% of this difference: 10% of $24 is $2.40. When we sum the difference and the additional 10%, we get $24 + $2.40 = $26.40. Since this option isn't available in the choices provided, it's likely that you are expected to choose among the closest options: A) $10, B) $12, C) $14, D) $16.

However, based on the "10% Plus" guarantee, the closest correct answer is not presented in the supplied choices. The woman can expect to be reimbursed $26.40, which exceeds all the options provided.
