We need to take the values of the table and check which of the options fit with the results.
In the first line of the table we have p=2 and C=27.54.
Using the equation in option A, for p=2 we would get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=p+27.54 \\ C=2+27.54 \\ C=29.54 \end{gathered}[/tex]Which is not value for C in the table. Thus we discard option A.
Using the equation for option B, for the value of p=2, we would get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=13.77p \\ C=13.77(2) \\ C=27.54 \end{gathered}[/tex]Which is indeed the value of the table.
To confirm, we try now with the next value of p, p=3, and check if we get the same result with equation B as with the table:
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=13.77p \\ C=13.77(3) \\ C=41.31 \end{gathered}[/tex]Which is also the value for C in the table.
Thus we confirm that option B is the correct equation
