No, your answer is not correct.
To solve the problem, you can use the conversion that 1 fluid ounce (oz) is equivalent to 29.5735 milliliters (ml).
Therefore, to find out which bottle size to use, you need to divide 135 ml by 29.5735 ml per oz:
- 135 ml ÷ 29.5735 ml/oz ≈ 4.56 oz
You can round up to the nearest available bottle size, which is 6 oz. Therefore, the correct answer is c.
