To find the percentage increase, we need to calculate the difference between the old and new amounts and then divide by the old amount.
The difference in water consumed is 40 oz - 32 oz = 8 oz.
The percentage increase is (8 oz / 32 oz) * 100% = 25%.
Therefore, Brinlyn increased the amount of water she drank each day by 25%.
The correct response is C) 25%.
