    The correct answer is option B.

    Explanation:

    Austin gets 20 utils from watching Shark Week and Erin gets 10 utils.

    On the other hand, watching MythBusters Austin gets 15 utils and Erin gets 5 utils.

    We see that Erin gets twice as much utility from watching Shark Week as he gets from MythBusters. In other words, he gets twice as much satisfaction. This means that Erin liked Shark Week twice as much as MythBusters.

    Austin gets more utility or satisfaction from watching Shark Week than he gets from MythBusters. Though it is not twice. This implies that Austin liked Shark Week better, but not twice as much.
