e. 6

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a worker carries jugs of liquid soap from a production line to a packing area, carrying 4 jugs per trip.

Since worker has made 17 trips, so total number of hugs of liquid soap would be 17 times number of jugs carried per trip.

.

Since each carton holds 7 jugs, so number of cartoons would be .

We can see that there are 9 completely filled cartoons and there are 5 jugs remaining, so we need jugs.

Therefore, we need 2 jugs to fill the 10th cartoon and option B is the correct choice.
