[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine how many boxes can be expected to contain a secret decoder ring, we need to figure out the ratio of boxes containing a secret decoder ring to the total number of boxes.

We are given that 2 out of every 15 boxes contain a secret decoder ring. So, the ratio can be expressed as 2/15.

To find out the expected number of boxes containing a secret decoder ring, we need to multiply this ratio by the total number of boxes, which is 240.

Expected number of boxes containing a secret decoder ring = (2/15) * 240 = 32

Therefore, the answer is D. 32.
