Answer:

C. in five hours Caroline wraps an odd number of packages

Explanation:

for A until hours you would multiply 2 by 9 and 2 by 9 is 18 and that's an even number so it's not A.

A eliminated.

for B in 3 hours 3 by 9 is 27 and that's an odd number so B is automatically eliminated.

for C in 5 hours all you would do is multiply the 9 by 5 and 9 by 5 is 45 and 45 is indeed an odd number so C is your answer.

for D 7 by 9 is 63 and 63 is an odd number so we already know that C is the answer but still we got to check and D is wrong because 63 is not an even number.
