Answer:

B, 1.25p

Explanation:

Lets say that Jordan's dog is a certain weight making him 1, It says Emmett's dog weighs 25% more, so that would give us 1.25. Now the reason is that it's B instead of C is that we have a p next to our 1.25. This means that its 1.25 x p, p being your pounds. So if you were to understand this equation, it would be, 1.25 x pounds. Let's also remember 1 x 1 = 1. So 1 x 1.25 is 1.25. 1 times anything is going to be the same number.
