Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ping's Cola comes in 12 ounce and 16 ounce bottles.

Let the 12 ounce bottles be = s

Let the 16 ounce bottles be = l

The organizers of a volleyball game have 19 bottles on hand

or     ....(1)

Total weight of 19 bottles are 248 ounces. So, next equation becomes:

   ......(2)

Substituting value of s in (2)

l = 5

And

s = 14

So, the small bottles are 14 in number and large bottles are 5 in number.
