a) 18
b) 19
c) 288
d) 2,592

a) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of eggs = 216

Maximum number each carton can hold = 12

Greatest number of egg carton required = total number of eggs/Maximum number each carton can hold

Greatest number of egg carton required = 216/12

                                                                    = 18

The right answer is a) 18
