ANSWER

Option B

2.33, 1.87, 3.6, 7.1

Step-by-step explanation

To solve this, we will treat each option separately and put them in fraction form and compare the numerators:

OPTION A


\begin{gathered} 10.1,\text{ 10.5, 11.2, 11.9} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }(101)/(10),\text{ }(105)/(10),\text{ }(112)/(10),(119)/(10) \end{gathered}

We see that the numerators are arranged from smallest to largest

OPTION B


\begin{gathered} 2.33,1.87,3.6,7.1\text{ } \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }(233)/(100),\text{ }(187)/(100),\text{ }(360)/(100),\text{ }(710)/(100) \end{gathered}

As we can see, 187 is less than 233 and so this option is not arranged in order of smallest to largest

NOTE: Since we have found the answer, we don't need to proceed
