Answer: B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given.

She only has enough money to purchase 1 pizza.

He can divide it into as many slices as she would like.

The number of people that will be eating will be either 3 or 4, including herself.

So, to ensure that everyone gets an equal number of slices she has to divide the pizza into 4 slices, because the worst case scenario is that 4 people (including herself) will be eating.

1/4 of pizza for each one.
