Expert Solution
Step 1

here we are using trail and error method to find the solution

if we consider option A 

if jenny picks 42 apples 

she has to give 1/4 of 42 apples to jerome 

it is not possible because 42 is not divisible by 4 

if we consider option B 

if jenny picks 70 apples 

she has to give 1/4 of 42 apples to jerome 

it is not possible because 70 is not divisible by 4  

similarlly 

from option C,D,E

45,58,74 are not divisible by 4 

so options A,B,C,D,E, are not correct answers
